| I've been producing trance now for a long time, but I've always been curious. You other producers, do you add stereo separation to your basslines, or do you not? |

| only at frequencies higher then, say, 100hz... something like that... the human ears are having a really difficult time telling where a bass sound is coming from, so i kinda see no point of using stereo on that, as you would notice that much... |

| No never, always keep it as centered as possible. |

why don't you just do what you think sounds good?
If you want a bass stereo then separate it.... if you want it mono then center the out of it. |

Try it, then go try and get it cut to vinyl....
Needle jumps all over the place with wide stereo basslines. |

prior to cutting a vinyl there is a process of mastering, if its for vinyl all sub bass is turned mono... and if you made a wide stereo bass it will probably have some mids, and those will be panned and still be wide, and as i said before the human ear barely notices the direction of bass sounds... so that argument is irrelevent IMO... |

I'd say to trust your ears as to when it comes to adding stuff into your mix. I don't think there's any right or wrong for basslines.
Some stereo on low-mid freqs can fatten up your bassline (as I do sometimes). For really low frequencies however I'm not sure though if stereo will have any benefit so I tend to keep that side unaltered. |

Which was exactly my point :rolleyes: - basically, it is pretty pointless as it will either be fixed by the mastering engineer , or be played on a mono club system anyway... |
