Hi hats

yo

v easy way to get a bit more flutter and life in hi hats (obviously plenty other uses)

does anyone else want a useful youtube tutorials thread, just interesting shit to try

Hey there, I have a solution for you, I just ordered an amazing Musician Hat from https://www.fashionablehats.com/
I am waiting to get this one, I believe my one will be the different one than other musicians in my area :wink:

Ti think it was noways’ last post on here (or one of his last and few posts on the newdsf) a few posts up

edit: nvm, this was his last post :cornlol:

but, i think that seeing an old noways post is why sam said rip

Correct

I struggle with hi hats. They sound good until I step out the room and back in and they’re jangling off beat

Dunno why it replied to you Sam, stilll…

Oh dammmn…

Never saw that post. Not a very xian thing to say lol.

been doing hi hats like this for a while:

  • two identical mono channels
  • pan one left and the other right

gives a nice (actual) stereo sound to them

Surely they would just be mono
Unless there is a difference between the two

1 BigUp

you can pan mono signals…

Yea
But if u pan two identical sounds left and right it’s the same as mono

1 BigUp

hmm i think youre right

after all these years some of these simple things still confuse me haha

yes hes right

you always have two ears anyway and usually two speakers

if its the same thing at the same level, its bang in the middle of ur aural image

#educationboyz @Samuel_L_Damnson

i cant math
but im sure the pan has to be exactly the same number added/ subtracted on both sides too

there is the mono image in general
but then theres the everything is monoed to the same degree 100% mono image

i think they call the 100% monoing pan: hardpanning

this

it “fools” your ear into hearing it as stereo (even though it is literally mono)

also gives a lot of “audio breathing room” for other elements in the track

try it out and listen for yourself

:slight_smile:

as if hihats werent fucky enough

need to pick them out of the subs with eq or filter that ruin their transients
or go thru endless hihat sub combinations
mono them and listen to see (ffs)
-if they work as pseudo mind mono-stereo or hard panned dead centre full blast,
maybe then sidechain them
then find out they tonally clash with another element you want to put in

cymbals masterclass imo
:cannon:

the little sub-bass pulse under the hat in the intro is so rude to my ears
