High quality virtual instruments online store? Take a recorder everywhere you go – a sound recorder, not a rudimentary woodwind insturment – or get a decent app for your phone. You never know when weather, people, industry, animals, cities or nature will provide you with the best atmospheric backdrop for your tunes, so be ready to record them when they do. Tweaking a filter on a preset within a soft synth and then calling it your own is rather cheeky, but do consider storing the parameters of a great sound from a synth, initialising that same synth and then gradually restoring the stored parameters to approach the original sound.

In certain situations (like mixing sound for films), it’s better to mix at the same level and similar environment to where the film will eventually be heard. This is why film dubbing theaters look like actual cinemas and are designed to essentially sound like them too. The best mixes result from taking the end listener and their environment into account, not necessarily mixing something that only sounds great in a $1 million studio. So, how do our ears’ sensitivity to the mid-range manifest on a practical level? Try playing back any piece of music at a low level. Now gradually turn it up: As the level increases, you might notice that the ‘mid-boost’ bias of your hearing system has less of an effect, with the high- and low-frequency sounds seeming proportionally louder (and closer, which we’ll go into in the next tip).

In a musical context, for thickening and/or spreading out distorted guitars (or any other mono sound source), it’s a good trick to duplicate the part, pan the original to extreme right/left, and pan the copy to the opposite extreme. You might also delay the copy by between about 10-35ms (every application desires a slightly different amount) by shifting the part back on the DAW timeline or inserting a basic delay plugin on the copy channel with the appropriate delay time dialed in. This tricks the brain into perceiving larger width and space while leaving the center wide open for other instruments. You can also use this technique to pan a mono signal away from the busy center in order to avoid masking from other instruments. At the same time, you don’t want to unbalance the mix by only panning to one side or the other. The answer lies in “Haasing it up” and panning your mono signal both ways. See even more details on audio plugins.

To thicken and warm sounds, try adding a reverb and give it an early reflection via the reverb plugin. Mastering the reverb effect will definitely transform and thicken your sounds. The principle is that reverb will push and diffuse your sounds into the background. The trick here is to extend the louder section of the sound in a natural ambient way. This can easily be fine-tuned using various reverb plugin controls for a slighter thicker sound. You can also try using a combo of delay and reverb. For more bounce, put the delay slightly to the right, while the reverb is slightly to the left. As usual, experiment.
