When everything is stereo, nothing is stereo. That’s an old engineer saying, “What you should understand it to mean is that the stereo effect is a fragile one. It takes up a lot of space.” So as you widen elements in your mix, those elements begin to compete for that psycho-acoustic space that we call stereo.
Remember, your whole mix is stereo. So if there’s something that you really wanna feature in the stereo field, you’ll have a much easier time pinpointing a mono signal somewhere across that spectrum. Sometimes those old sayings are true.
