It definitely makes it sound stereo, but I found the PSS the most convincing so far.Д®ven then, I see that whatever I do, it will come at a cost, and it will be some kind of compromise. I tried the pseudostereo setting in my Q10. The filtering of different frequencies in each side worked Ok.

It's been quite enlightening, but I admit I still need to do further research, if I really want to understand this and how to effectively use these tools and techniques. Here's a great article on the subject over at UA. So the phase relationship of the side channel to the mid channel is where all the spacial info is recreated. The nature of the figure 8 is that the same 'right' signal will appear inverted on the opposite side of the capsule. Sounds originating from the right hit the mid and right side of the fig-8 as 'upright' waves. So even though the figure 8 is pointing perpendicular to the source, the resulting width of an M/S is fascinatingly adjustable after recording. With proper matrixing, this produces an X/Y stereo image. And you have a figure 8 mic facing sideways as close to the MID capsule as possible. In the purest/purist mic setup, you have a cardioid mic facing the sound source: the MID. Mono-compatible.ДЄs for the conversation about M/S, it is kind of a tricky subject- because there is 'mics & mixer math', i.e., adding channels and inverting phase and there is math-math.

Do what you want and have fun.ДЇirst of all, if the OP has Reaktor, there's a free stereo expander ensemble called 'ContraBand + StereoExpander', which allows you to pan individual frequency bands.

M/S works best in a great sounding room or hall or even outdoors if the environment isn't very noisy. One-piece stereo ribbons can work as X/Y or M/S through a decoder depending on how you angle the mic. There are those using shotgun mics as the M in film work but that sounds weird unless you really know what you are doing. I prefer cardioid but have used an omni for 'choral in a cathedral' and figure 8 in the studio. It sounds a little different because of the microphones involved but otherwise works quite well.ДЇor those who have never done M/S, the M can be anything, cardioid, omni, figure 8, hyper or super cardioid etc. A/B a 3-mic M/S array against a standard 2-mic M/S array through a decoder. It was about that time that I figured out that, if the 2-mic with a figure 8 was R=M+S L=M-S, then a 3 mic setup would be R=M+R and L=M+L. On the minus side, I had no control over the levels of the signal and the output did not load either mic correctly in my Shure mixer (Ohm's вЂ“ it's the law). I did the 3 mic M/S setup for over 20 years before I bought DP 2.7 and could finally use a figure 8 for my side mic.ДЄround 1975 or so, I built a homemade M/S decoder using some connectors and cable. This gives you a mono signal with some weird phase issues. Without the decoder you have R=M+S and L=M+S. The MS decoder matrix reverses the polarity of the mono signal and sends it to one channel only вЂ“ that is how you can get an R and L signal out of the mono signal coming from a figure 8. The correct formula is L=M-S R=M+S or vise versa. Perhaps you are confused by the math for a 2-mic M/S setup. Pan L and R to middle and this mono signal will cancel any common signals вЂ“ as happened in the freakish example I mentioned where it saves my butt. Subtract M to get hard L and hard R without the middle. Subtract L+R to get M which will be mono. This is why the formula I gave is correct. Two opposed cardioids accomplishes the same result mechanically.

If you reversed the 2&3 wires on one of them, you would make a 2-mic figure 8 and would have to send the resulting signal through an M/S decoder to flip the signal 180В°. The L and R mics are out of polarity because they are back to back. Using the + sign implies that there is positive pressure on all three capsules which is correct. The three mics are at 90В° angles with the middle pointed to the source and the other 180В° opposed and facing R/L. Now I could show you with a three channel mixer and a set of mics but we aren't in the same room. I do not understand what you are not seeing and why you think the math is wrong. You are incorrect and since it involves basic algebra. Subtract M from both sides of the equation, basic algebra, and you get R=0. Bayswater wrote:Mike, the explanation is fine.
