Fairchild - Good for 2 Powerchords on Both Sides

[Arys Chien]

I recorded two guitar powerchord tracks yesterday, pan them 90 right and 90 left.

Becuase I used the same guitar with similar settings, once in a while there would be some \"invisible but there\" thing, generated in the middle of the sound field. It damaged the width of the guitar wall, and also masked the lead vocal in the center.

Today I insert a Fairchild 670 plug-in in the group channel and called out the preset \"Center Squasher\". Gone is my problem. Clear is the center field, and wider is my guitar wall.

No tweaking. Just call out the preset and the job is done.

------

I tried some other plug-ins that do similar jobs. The PSP Stereo Enhancer creates strange feeling, something about the phase. Others are just worse. Nothing comes close to the Fairchild 670 for this job.

Times like this make me thank the very existence of UAD-1.

Centre Squasher preset is kinda funky, I was messing about with that myself recently. I can create an interesting effect of a panning motion that is related to the intensity of the signal.

It's good to hear you're getting some practical use out of it too, the only downer can be that you'll get that Fairchild sound whether you like it or not! (I'm not knocking the Fairchild sound, but you can't Fairchild everything).
