Caveat: No idea what its actually called, so I called it what I thought it looks like in the title.... I was on the hunt for some reference tracks and did the googley thing which led me HERE. Down the page under "FUTURE" there is a picture of what the stereo image looks like and it seems in that style of music, the bass is mixed mono at its lowest frequencies but up through about 200Hz the image is gradually widened. I had never seen/heard of doing this before, so it piqued my interest. I have always thought about and instrument being evenly separated across its usable frequency range, or some subset of that, whatever works best. 1) How common is this across genres - I think its probably genre specific, until its not. 2) What plugins would be used to accomplish this? Thank you as I work to reduce my lack of knowledge. |

1) The "V shape" is very common in pop and EDM music and is effective for creating the illusion of massive lowend in a track.
2) You can do this organically through arrangement, HPF on side instruments, or if its the bass itself that is stereo above 200hz, any pitch shift or chorus plug with a HPF can achieve this effect. There are plugs, like BX control and the BX EQ (forget what its called) that have a "mono maker" function, but I personally would rather do it organically in the mix, as sometimes those broad stroke moves can end up sounding odd.

Izotope Ozone has that feature.

It’s necessary for vinyl playback and helps with 2.1 speaker and subwoofer configurations. The kick and bass are centered anyway in most rock music.
Ozone, Slick EQ M, VUMT deluxe, and any mid/side eq can do it. The new TDR Elliptical filter is the most advanced option right now with distortion capabilities to get harmonics of just what is removed, linear phase options, adjustable everything, etc.

It's only common in the sense that something like bass usually has one mic on it while guitars will be L/R tracked at the very least.
