My (admittedly limited) understanding is that bass frequencies should be tightly centered. There are plug-ins specifically designed for this, that high pass the side signals. Any insights on this?
All you need to do is set up the chorusing as a send-return effect and then put a high-pass filter in the effect-return channel. Nothing complicated, and something I do very often for reverbs in general. As to the benefit, it's just a question of greater stereo 'envelopement' for the bass-guitar/synth frequencies in the midrange particularly. It's a trick I picked up from Andy Wallace, but things like this are very much a question of taste.
