Commonly used for creating depth, thickening the stereo image within your DAW, the HAAS effect can be used whenever you feel like bringing some movement in your tracks.

We've aimed to name just a few of the HAAS free VSTs, to get things going with this. Although there are many bedroom producers pointing to HAAS effect, being one of the needed effects when it comes to bring more widening to your tracks by applying on leads and drums for bringing more on that stereo widening and enhancement.
Be careful on applying that, just to have the psychoacoustical effect on an individual track, it may result into overlapping some of your used frequencies, even cutting off some of the dynamicity and thump from your drums.
We can easily apply the effect, for panning by pan it to either left or right, duplicate the same amount of panning to another similar channel, with the same sound, then set the feedback delay to zero and try to do your best with the eq of that subgroup.
