I was wondering what techniques people might have to opening up a track that has been poorly mixed (everything is dead center)and has no stereo image)during the mastering process. I do have the vocal tracks because i recorded them myself so any techniques for mixing vocals to create a wide stereo image of the vocals would be helpful.
Thank you for your time,

You could parallel the track twice, pan both hard left and right, roll off everything below 2.5kHz, delay the left side by 7ms or so and the right side maybe 9ms for starters (leave the original in the center). There will be phase issues that you'll have to deal with...
