Should I use stereo separation?
Achieving Stereo Separation
If you want to replicate the natural separation of a live music performance, you should purchase a stereo system that has only two speakers. This allows the stereo system to imitate the separation between the right and left ears that naturally occurs at a live performance.
How does stereo separation work in FL Studio?
According to the manual, the "stereo separation" filter (control) only increases or decreases existing stereo separation, so if you find that the knob increases stereo width, then the filter's input was not completely mono. Such stereo width corresponds to the "s" aka "side" component in m/s (mid/side) encoded audio.
What's the difference between stereo separation and panning?
Stereo separation widens your sound, so it sounds bigger, more wide, spacious. Panning places an instrument in a spot. If you close your eyes, panning should let you imagine the guitar being played on the right, while the piano is on the left, and the drummer in the middle.
