What is the mixing-recording technique used at MIC CHECK from RAGE AGAINST THE MACINE-THE BATTLE OF LOS ANGELES after 2:28

Vocals sound centered and narrow at first and right at the next line they are widespread. Then back narrow again etc.

How is this effect achieved?

 

[xantus]

its just adding a slight delay to one channel to make it seem more "stereo"
this is usually called "spread"

 

[marios_mar]

what do you mean on one channel? On the left or the right one only?

It is very interesting how the voice sounds much wider. Gives a kind of 3D effect.

 

[xantus]

well the first part, the narrow part, was probably sung into a mono mic, and the wider part was probably sung into a stereo mic.

but yes, its always nice to see people playing with stereo imaging as there's very few dimensions to audio, and stereo effects are the strongest(next to dynamic range)

 

[dinobite]

never mind

Mix processing can achieve this easily, no different mics are used usually.
