Julian Rodgers has created this Pro Tools session that he uses to help students understand how Mid/Side works. OK, it isnвЂ™t simple but once you have done it once, make a template session of it and you can quickly bring it into any session you need it on. Then route the S channel output through a stereo aux track with a phase invert only on one side and pan hard left & right to the same stereo mix as the mono channel. To get back to left and right, take the output of the plug-in and route the M channel to a mono aux track so it is panned centre across a stereo mix Route the L+R into one side of an EQ plug-in and the L-R to the other side. This will provide the S channel, which is L-R. In Pro Tools, insert a Trim plug-in with a phase Invert enabled on one side. On another track, take the same L & R and mono them but invert the phase of one channel. To use these formulae, in your DAW, take the Left and Right channels and mono them to create L+R, which gives the M channel.

The maths for MS encoding are simple L+R=M, L-R=S and decoding L=M+S and R=M-S. It is also possible to the MS encode/decode with just aux tracks. Mike demonstrates this in his Rreview video of Equalize, jump to 10вЂ™48вЂќ to watch MikeвЂ™s demo.Д«ut what if you donвЂ™t have a plugin that has a Mid/Side option. This is a trick used by mastering engineers to EQ the stereo part of the signal but leave the mono components alone.ДЄn example of an EQ plugin that offers EQ processing is Equalize from Acon Digital. In this article, we are going to look at some solutions.ДЄnother variation of using different EQ settings on the left & right channels is to convert the Left & Right into MS and then EQ the Side (difference between left and right) differently to the M (left and right added together) then decode the MS back to left and right. You will have also created the space in your mix for image enhancers and special effects to work clearly in your mix. If you pull in the width of a lot of your stereo sounds then those that are left will have room to breathe and the others will have a clear space to occupy in the stereo image of your mix.

I think the sub-title for this series is the overused phrase вЂњlittle is moreвЂќ.

There are some sounds that work well in mono like drum sounds. The best way forward is somewhere in between. You could reduce most of the components down to mono and pan them across the stereo image so each of your instruments has its own place in the image, it may sound like a contradiction but your mix can end up with a wider perceived stereo balance and elements will stand out more easily. What a lot of people do is dive for the stereo width plug-ins or wash synth and guitar sounds in wide stereo chorus in the hope of producing a wider stereo mix, because wide is good, but if you arenвЂ™t careful all that will happen is that you will end up with a wider stereo mush. If we want to give mono content some width, what do we do? In this article, we are going to look at a range of techniques to be able to add some width to mono content. Although we track more and more in stereo, there is still a lot of what we do that is in mono.
