i´ve never donne any mid/side stuff.
(edit: changed the header to (solved) / but: if you have more feedback: thats welcome
i need some help vs. the basic understanding of the mid side concept, and how to work, vs. dynamic EQing (and some more dynamic tailorment / its really just about dynamics for my start)
For example: i´d like to create completly different dynamic-enhancing or dynamic-taming of bands, mid vs. side, at the same frequenzy.
Lets take the FF pro-Q as an example EQ.
1. As far i understand could i take a band, set it to mid,....set the dynamics, then take another band, place it at the same Frequency, set it to "side", ....and set the dynamics completly different.
For example, boosting the bass on the mids, while clamping down the bass at the same time on the sides.
Is this so correct, thats how it works, ie: doable ?
2. But what if i´d do same with a path split up, creating a own audio path for the mid and one for the "side" processing. Would there be any difference in sound, using a own pro-Q instance for mid, and another for "side"( same EQ settings, just split up to two EQ instances) ? ( increasing the CPU load)
me: allready happy if i got to understand the above.
below, thats the more complicated one. (Hope my wording is clear enough)
3. What if i want to add additional compression or other VCA based dynamic tools to my mid-side processing, how do i proceed with this ?
4. i might have to go with a split up audio path anyway.
But what if i want to keep the mid-side EQing on a stereo bus, but want to split that audio signal up into own mid vs. side stereo signal later, ......after some mid-side processing has allready been apllyed ?
How would i create "then" such a mid vs. sides split up ?
what tools/plugins to take ?
(i´m not necessarily DAW based. More working in a non track-based plugin host)
