Hi!

I've been finishing mixing a new song and need help fixing the correlation of the synth track in it.

I am using the tubesynth emotive pad preset without any changes, The sound fits very well with the song, but the correlation of the track is very negative.

Using busscontrol and span to check, i get at the peak -4,1. I've tried adjusting the pan with pancake2 to some sucess. the music sounds way better but the correlation is still negative.

This progam is making the whole song sound unballanced, I've checked all other progams and their correlations are all okay.

Checking the correlation of the reference track it stays positive the whole way trough.

So I wanted to know if there is a setting in the tubesynth progam that will make the sound more centered than it currently is. Right now it is veerring too much to the left. Or any other way I could fix this somehow without necessarily changing the pan, as I've said it helped but not by much.

Does anybody has some idea of how i could fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks didn't even know this was a thing lol

Do you have any free ones you could recommend?

Edit: okay i used THe BL stereowidth plugin and it helped a lot though I did lose a bit of the output and frequencies from the synth.

Edit 2: SO i found another opition. i played around with the width in the tubesynth progam and it got better though the sound did change a little of course but I guess there is no way around it. So mixing it with the stereo plugin I think i can manage mixing it into a better sound.

Edit 3: SO turns out it was the reverb i was using that was messing up the correlation. Changing it improved it immediately, gonna try another one.

Thanks :worthy:
