To create wide pads or synths, try duplicating the track and adding an auto-panner to the duplicate track.

Whether it's a pad, a synth, or even some hi-hats, this trick is a great way to add some wideness & movement to your production.



It's so easy to do too! Just duplicated the pad or synth & on the duplication, add an "auto-panner."



Then, blend the original & duplicated track to taste.



You will want to play around with the speed & the width of the "auto-panner" & each track might call for a different style & need.



If your pad or synth isn't the main instrument for your chord or melody, then a lot of times you don't even need to duplicate the instrument.



Just put the "auto-panner" right on the original source!
