: What exactly do you mean by "mirroring". Just duplicating the track
: shouldn't do anything, but I notice that the two channels aren't
: identical.
: Personally, I think the QT2 versions ought to stay mono. The only thing I'd
: do to them is maybe denoise each track individually [1]. Then join and
: normalize them together so they maintain a consistent "album"
: volume. Finally, split 'em back.
: But, that's just me :-)
: [1]: Thinking more about the recording process and looking at the tracks,
: denoising probably isn't necessary.
OK, I'm pretty much a n00b at audio post-processing. In my experience with my own work, sometimes I would duplicate/mirror tracks to increase volumes (but typically I would also so some off-setting of the tracks too).
For the "stereo" version of Landing I just duplicated the track, adjusted the balance on each so one was more focused on the left channel and the other on the right, then increased the volumes on both tracks individually. Then I increased the overall volume a bit more making sure no notes were getting clipped at high volumes.
I'm doing all of this in Garageband, which I'm absolutely sure isn't the best or most efficient way of doing it. I like the idea of putting all the songs into one track to make the volumes match between tracks and then splitting them. I think to do that in Garageband I could put them all in to a master track, set the volumes, then mix it down into a .m4a.... then import the .m4a back into Garageband and split the tracks out individually from that file. Seems cumbersome and probably better done with a different program, or is that the way it's typically done?
I can continue to work on each song individually and then offer it up as an option, but if anyone else has a better or more efficient way of doing it that would be welcome.
