What's new

Any good ideas for compensating for the fact that libraries are recorded on empty scoring stages?

As I rebalance my new template, I find this bothers me more than before.

The first violins exist in the right channel much greater than they should, or would, if there were bodies over there.
The inverse is true for the celli.

The bigger the stage the worse it seems to get.

As a result, they lose their, somewhat desirable (IMO), isolation.

if you add this together for each section, you get an indecisive audio landscape where there is too much diffusion.

Things I have tried without good acoustic results:

1) dipping the R channel of the L-centric violins
2) moving/restricting the stereo image, say by moving the right pan value to the left
3) playing with convolution reverb and stage placement
 
try (subtly) increasing the treble on the desired side and reduce it on the opposite side. great way to create space in a mix for solo instruments/vocals too.
lots of eqs can do this, here it's done in khs slice eq:
