Increasing stereo separation
Is there any easy way to somehow expand your 2 stereo tracks? I would like to increase the separation between left & right as much as I can.

The separation between left and right should be 100 percent – at least when you give the data to your player. What this does is a different story.
I guess what you want to achieve is an illusion that the speakers are further apart. This requires a tricky recalculation of the sound information. If you have the latest Nero you might have Nero Soundtrax. Perhaps this might help you. There is a Stereo Processor. But for sure there are other audio editors doing the same.

You might try this VST effect (free!) from Voxengo…from their website: “This plug-in can be used to add stereo width to audio tracks. This plug-in is most effective on mono pad sounds and alike. This effect works with mono stream generating stereo stream. It also works with stereo streams, however both channels get processed independently of each other like they are mono streams and then two resulting stereo streams get mixed together to produce one stereo stream”

… or you could move your speakers further apart!

This is for sure the best advice since all the tricky calculations will not really work very well. They have to be adjusted for each listener and this is impossible with standard products. Otherwise we would have had a flood of such applications already for a long time.

What you really want is give a stereo crosstalk with a – sign.
So let’s say L,R are values of the 2 channels, l,r are the new values of the new channels.
Then l=L-p*R r=R-p*L
p is the constant that describes the crosstalk.
Should be between 10…50%.
This will give you the effect you want (stereo wide).This process can be very easily done in cooledit via channel mixer, at the moment no idea how to do it in vegas…

If you’re just wanting some of the right in the left and some of the left in the right:
Copy the event onto TWO tracks. Make one left only and the other right only. Now adjust the pans of those two tracks to suit.

I’m sort of replying to my own posting. I was looking at the myriad of different that comes with Nero the other day & came across a program that’s called Nero Wave Editor which has a tool in called tool called stereo processor & one of it’s settings is for ‘Stereo Broadening’. Just increase someone else wishes to try it out
