Pan/Expand Process Missing in XP? -Sound Forge - PC

How would I widen the image of stereo files in SFXP 4.5? Thanks, Shaun
Subject:Re: Pan/Expand Process Missing in XP? Reply by: Sonic Date:8/31/2000 1:42:00 AM The tool tip is incorrect. XP 4.5 does not offer the stereo expand mode in it's Graphic Pan dialog. However, you can use Process->Pan->Graphic for standard panning operations. A little web research should yield plenty of imaging ideas with plain old pans, delays, and mixes. But before you get carried away, try adding a short delay (~10 ms and 100% wet) to just one channel to widen the image a bit. I find that is usually satisfactory. Regards, Jason.

Meanwhile, another question: what would you suggest to add some separation or a stereo effect to a mono recording? Hopefully the tips and help will be updated in an upcoming product update.

One of the Tips of the Day says: "In the Pan/Expand dialog,
you can widen the image of stereo files.

I can't find the Pan/Expand dialog. The tip seems to be
referencing the Process menu "Pan" menu item, but there is
no Expand to be found.

How would I widen the image of stereo files in SFXP 4.5?

Thanks,

Shaun

The tool tip is incorrect. XP 4.5 does not offer the stereo expand
mode in it's Graphic Pan dialog.

However, you can use Process->Pan->Graphic for standard panning
operations. A little web research should yield plenty of imaging
ideas with plain old pans, delays, and mixes.

But before you get carried away, try adding a short delay (~10 ms and
100% wet) to just one channel to widen the image a bit. I find that
is usually satisfactory.
