This song is about how our life is like a book, it has chapters and the text. But we always struggle to find the topic of our lives. I really hope you all like it :)

what exactly is done to the sound in Stereohead to the right and left channel to make it wide? I asked ChatGPT and recieved a very generic answer, that basically anything could have, so I am asking here.

hmm, somehow I am not convinced …

you are just deffering the question. how then is the already wide sound made in the first place? recording with a stereo mic does not make it (that) wide, you would have to have the mics very wide appart or something, and placing mics wider than a head-width already breaks the spatial illusion—trust me I've, done a thesis on binaural perception

I know how to make sound appear to come from a certain direction: it's a combination of a bunch of bin-aural cues, like delay, volume, applying filters to emulate the earlobe attenuation to name a few, but I have no clue whatsoever how to make it wide, that's why I'm asking.

Like Jay Kay said, any difference can make it wide. It can be volume (which is just Pan, so not relevent in StereoHead), it can be EQ (which is volume, but just on some frequency bands), or it can be de-sync, which is more probable here.
For me, the wideness is made by delaying the left and right channels slightly, for a few ms.
You can check Haas effect online for more info about the process.

Does any of you have some tips on how to approach Kit Cut?

I'm in the middle of changing the way i play the game. Before i used to just turn the eq off and basically treat it like its Peak Master which makes the game pretty easy. However in hindsight I don't really think thats a very helpful way of approaching the game.

Now I force myself not to swith the EQ on/off and even level 3 feels challenging. Peak master really clicked for me when I learned the distinct vowels of all of the frequency bands. Is there a similar trick i can learn with Kit Cut? Or is it more like an intuition that develops over time?

It never occurred to me that I wasn't getting the most from the game until someone else mentioned that the idea was to be able to detect what is missing not just which frequency pops up when the filter is turned off. So now I listen, make an assessment of what is missing, then turn the filter off for confirmation before I make my guess. I find that the game is pretty challenging for that initial assessment. I don't know of any tricks that will make it any easier, it's just a matter of time/training.

Ditto. I also pick the same instruments for my workout. So like today is piano day, or brass day. I do live sound mixing more than composing or producing so I can hear it in the PA but don't really know the frequency I am playing around with. But just hearing one instrument, in all the games or choosing the same instrument for all the games where I am struggling has really focused me. I think I did Kit Cut on Piano for like two weeks. I also use the interactive frequency chart to help zero each instrument when I have surprise client changes. Cheers

I just tried this out and cleared a level i was struggling with pretty quickly. Anyone else that uses a similar approach?
