Panning Your HxN Guitar Within a Stereo Track

[soundog]

An obvious tip that I overlooked for awhile .....  

 

If you create a stereo track with stereo instance of HxN plug-in, and you want to do all of your effects (reverb, delay, etc) within HxN rather using other DAW plug-ins afterwards, you can pan the location of the mono guitar in your mix's stereo field using the Volume/Pan effects block. So:

 

Amp/Cab (mono) --> Volume/Pan:Pan block (stereo) --> various effects blocks (stereo; e.g. Reverb, Chorus, Delay, etc)

 

Then, use the balance slider in the Pan block to place your mono amped guitar in the stereo field (see example below, with guitar panned a little left of center). Leave your DAW pan for the track set to center (HxN is taking care of the panning and stereo image).

 

Remember to choose all Stereo (not Mono) blocks for each effects blocks in your block chain after the amp ... if you accidentally stick a mono block in there, it will collapse the stereo to mono! And if you split your amp into two paths, be wary of how you place the stereo blocks.

 

Amp and Cab blocks are mono, all blocks after that are stereo. Pan the amped guitar location using the Pan slider control.

Cool, I am gonna direct someone to this post, who was asking about this in a thread (on here) some time back, by posting him a link to this thread. I am sure he is subscribed to his own thread.
