Below is a tip, and after the tip is a song link so you can hear how it works; the song is using all band in a box tracks.

Here is how it works!

Take an instrument stereo wave file; for example the non solo guitar wave, and the organ wave in the example song both use this technique. Open up a wave editor, that allows you to choose Left and Right Channels of a wave file separately. Select the left side and silence it; this will give you a stereo wave with only the right side; save file as right side. Choose the right and save as left. This is different than just using 2 mono tracks and panning, you can really hear the difference. This now gives you 2 stereo wave files, one with the left channel only the other with the right only. When you put them in your DAW make sure you load them on a stereo track not mono. No need to pan as they are already panned Hard L/R. All you need to do is find your mixing levels for one track and then bring the other up identical. In this song the non solo guitar Left side I moved -1.00 ms and the organ tracks Right side I moved -1.00 what this does is make it sound as if the guitar is in your left ear and the organ your right. How far you move it determines the position in the mix **Note, if you use this technique and the song is going to be played in mono you will lose the tracks in which you use this technique; but it sounds amazing in stereo as it opens up the mix. Listen on headphones and you can really hear it! If the non solo guitar and the organ had been playing together more, what I would have done is load the Left channel stereo file of say the organ and the right stereo file of the guitar this would have really opened it up wide and made both far more distinct in the mix, but as I was doing this for the 5090 I was in a hurry. This is especially useful if you have a lot of different guitar tracks for example, as they can cloud a mix up quickly. this also leaves the center for the bass guitar and the kick drum. I hope this helps! All feedback is welcome!

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
