Hi everyone,
Ive always wanted to have my sounds sound "bigger" but im never that successful. Take this song for example:
http://soundcloud.com/onezerothree/aura-original-mix
The bass during the drop, any of the 4, how could i go about making them sound bigger and fuller? I use reason 4 to make all my sounds.
Thanks in advanced! Any help would be appreciated.

Search the forums for threads about eqing, compressing, resampling and splitting frequencies.

Layering, compression and stereo imaging in Reason.

Make 2 or 3 copies of the synth/bass and pan one slightly to left, one slightly to right and 1 in the middle.

More than half of the effects used to do this are based on delays.
Just takes some tweaking to get the right delay time, try it in ms too.

mid/side processing. also yeah i agree with delays & sometimes super tight delays can help too

Some reverb and chorus would be good.

Layer your sounds to hit a wide range of frequencies and use flange / chorus / stereoimaging for width up top.

Get some stereo imaging on it. Look up the effects from mda, they have a great line of software imo

Reason users! Do you guys combine synth sounds with the spider audio? I just started doing this but im not sure if it's really doing anything

No the only time I use a spider is when either in freq splitting or drum bussing other than that, no

Frequency Splitting? can you elaborate on that?

You take a sound and split it into different output each with a different band of frequencies, adthen you process each band separately and then sum them back together.
