Stereo Separation Fl Studio
I've got a few questions about stereo separation beacuse I don't think I fully understand this, even though I've been trying to find some information online and tested it myself also.
Can somebody please explain how does it exactly work?
How is it possible that when I load basic kick that comes with FL Studio (the one that is automatically loaded in new project in channel rack) and then turn 'stereo separation' knob in mixer right (mono) the sound differs even though it's a mono sample? It sounds different also when I turn it left. How is that possible?
Why does 'stereo separation' in fruity stereo enhancer sounds different than the one in mixer? I tested it on the kick sample.

In the studio, tracks tend to be recorded separately, in a relatively dry setting, enabling us to control their perceived ambience with the aid of technology.In actual practice, modern stereo mixing has less to do with replicating real world conditions than with creating a good sounding balance between the various musical elements in a recording. If you are a music producer, then most likely you’ve heard of stereo separation. Today I will explain what does the stereo separation represent. First, it is a great way of creating harmony in music. A well-done stereo separation can create an awesome feeling, and in this article I’m going to. Mono vs Stereo - The FL Studio Insert Mixer Tracks are stereo. To hear a Mixer Track in mono, turn the Stereo separation control as indicated above, to mono (fully clockwise). Current (C) - This is a 'utility' track that receives the currently selected Mixer Tracks Output.

According to the manual, the 'stereo separation' filter (control) only increases or decreases existing stereo separation, so if you find that the knob increases stereo width, then the filter's input was not completely mono. Such stereo width corresponds to the 's' aka 'side' component in m/s (mid/side) encoded audio.
The Fruity Stereo Enhancer effect's capability to produce stereo separation from a completely mono signal does not come from the stereo separation filter, it comes from the 'phase offset' effect, which delays either the left or right channel.
It's worth keeping in mind that a simple left/right delay can produce a stereo field that's not 'mono compatible'. Mono compatibility means that if your stereo mix is listened to in mono so that the left and right channels are summed, it will still sound good, and no frequencies disappear completely because of canceling. Summing a signal with a delayed version of itself produces comb filtering, which attenuates parts of the spectrum, depending on the length of the delay. There are mono compatible pseudo-stereo/stereoizing enhancement methods which do not use left/right delaying but comb-shaped EQ curves that go together nicely when summed to mono.
