less back in time. The vocal should widen without sounding
processed. Keep their faders equal level. Your ear will naturally =
hear the
earlier track (lft) first and perceive that it's louder. If you =

------=_NextPart_000_0190_01C6117B.9C5C44A0--Another imprtant point is the frequencies around the vocalist...if there are
a couple of instruments in the same range the vocals will be fighting to be
heard...make sure there is somewhat of ahole around the vocals so that they
fill that void or hole all by themselves.
A quick trick is to throw the mix in mono and see what you hear...if the
guitar or piano is interfering, try a new level or re-EQ the offending
instrument so it backs off enough to give the vocals their space.
Doubling or tripling work (with appropriate time delay)...adding a chorus to
the third can help...compressing a copy of the vox track and blending to
taste might work..and the above suggestion will work
YMMV

I've never used an out of phase signal for this purpose. I have
used something similar though. Copy lead vocal track to an
adjacent channel, pan each hard lft-rt, move the left track a =
millisecond or
even less back in time. The vocal should widen without sounding
processed. Keep their faders equal level. Your ear will =

>Hello Jim,
Welcome to our neck of the woods. The easiest thing to try is cooling,
open the case and put a fan on high. Test your Paris setup and push it.
It is probably heat and a weak power supply. 450 watts or so should do
the trick.
