This is something that has been bugging me for quite a while. How do I simulate the distance/placement of an instrument?
Now, I don't just mean panning. I'm talking about how, say, the Horn sections are always behind the woodwinds, and the percussion behind them. It's really easy to tell how far back instruments are, as they seem to have more 'width', I supposed you'd call it.
Right now, I've been using the Stereo Enhancer in FL Studio to try and get the effect, and while it somewhat does the job, it sounds rather cheap and I feel like that method will lead to acoustic problems in the future.
I remember Cubase's reverb had a knob that did the trick really quick and easy. They simply called it 'Mix', but I have no clue what it's mixing, and I cannot load the effect into FL Studio.
