Some naturally hear in a wide and spacious landscape and mix that way. Others a real strong center image and others more upfront, tall and dry. These things naturally reflect in their sonic signature. That is how you can listen to someone's work and tell who did what.
The records you are asking about were mixed by CLA, Mike Shipley & Randy Staub. Each has his own unique sound.
They were also mastered by Ted Jensen. I can't see Ted J using a spatializer to expand these guys mixes. Ted J has always had a certain spin he puts on the work he masters and that's why guys go to him so much. It could be a Jazz or hiphop project and it will sound like Ted J.
Is there a point in this?
Enhance and focus on your sonic strengths whatever that is and the wide thing usually works itself out somehow without having to use any special processing on everything.

Any opinions?? |
I use this box sometimes when i want to move certain tracks out of the way. It has a natural bright sound to it. Either use it with this in mind or what i do sometimes is "dumb it down" by running it through something else to smooth out its bite.
