Re: drum samples:stereo or mono?

2003-01-06 by jesse_medway <medway808@hotmail.com>

I pretty much always use mono samples and then use a good
stereo room verb (lexicon pcm80) to widen them out a little.
a good trick for stereo is to just have two sounds, like two
sanres and pan them.  then you can alter the velocity of the
hits so its a little dynamic.  anyways too much stereo stuff
will cloud the imaging.  a little is good but not too much...
