I can't believe how to the point and easy to understand your videos are. I've been producing on FL for some time now and your videos have taught me lots of things, thank you.
CAN YOU PLEAS TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN UNDERSTOOD FROM THIS MIKE VIDEO !?I AM CURRIOUS ! HAVE CLEARN LEARN WHAT S TRYING TO EXPLAIN BEFORE HE REALLY UNDERSTAND IT ? OK MAZE WHAT S A MATRIX 2 POINTS ?DID YOU KNOW ? PLEASE MARK HERE !
Hey mate, been using FL since 2011 but only really got back into it this year. Your tutorials for each plugin are probably the most informative and easy to follow ever made, thanks a lot for your work. Plug-ins have come a long way and it’s so clear you don’t need to spend hundreds on third party plugins any more! Cheers man.
With this video you changed my life (as a mixer) once again. Image-Line should start sponsoring you or something since there're a lot of us that still stick with FL just because of the amazing things you discover to us!
Every time I get stuck at a point in mixing, I know where to go in order to find a solution to my problem, & it usually ends up being way more simple than I imagined. Thank you for being one of the greatest teachers that I could find. You're doing an amazing job.
Micheal has a way of teaching thats so unique, like you must understand completely . thank you so much you've helped me and lots of people a thon . please make your videos way longer I enjoy every bit
i didnt know about the sidechaining with this nor the presets. all i did was making it sound wider and i already loved it. never would have known i can do all of this with it. thanks a lot :)
you could do a 6 hour long deep dive into the different types of bread, and i'd still listen. you have one of the most listenable voices on this platform and information you teach is actually helpful. thanks so much!
This is such a simple introduction to a plugin I didn't even know would be extremely useful - after 8+ years of producing, this has burst doors wide open for me. Thank you, Michael, you're a godsend.
It's quite a neat little plugin. Its effect can quite easily be replicated with multiple plugins and sidechains, but it would take some extra resources, so I believe it is quite a helpful plugin to keep in mind when mixing, especially when you can't afford to use more resources than you absolutely have to.
You just unlocked a whole world for me. Picked up a wa-273 which has 2 preamps and independent eq’s. I just took a mix I was working on into a session and sent the mid through one side and the sides through the other and then was able to do mid side processing on my 273. It almost sounds like I have a console it sounds so good! Thank you for all your help through the years!!!
This guy is probably the best channel to go to to learn anything about music. So easy to watch and listen to, and so easy to reference in your own music. So good.
i thought real hard about it, and i finally understand how the mid-side separation works. if we have equal (R) waveforms on each speaker, that creates a mono track of (R). if we have equal (L) waveforms on each side, that creates a mono track of (L). combining the two gives us a pure mono signal, and side-chaining the difference gives us a pure stereo signal. 🙌
That's super cool, I never knew Stereo Shaper could function as a send signal, and send just the side information to a separate FL Mixer Track. I had always done it more complicated by adding a Fruity Send Track on the original Mixer Channel, and then applying the Stereo Separation on the receiving end track. You know so many useful tricks. Thanks ITM!
6:38 What the Fuck. Thats so next level!!!! I ve watched tons of fl studio tutorials and NEVER saw that before, but it makes so much sense. This Channel has a ridicilous level of quality. Props dude! I know you gotta be going for that on purpose. Its working.
You’re the best channel about mixing in TH-cam! Great work, I really hope one day you decide to sell a mixing course, even though your videos are really helpful, I would like to follow a course guideline. Anyway, you the best, I would trust my money on you.
as far as I know you can use phase dial in complex with delay dial. First you widen up your signal with Delay to your taste, than you switch master to mono and start to twist Phase dial until you start to hear the low end you've missed before. Hope that's helpful. And thank for the video btw, didn't know about midside split:)
Wow thank you I have been looking of a way to get into mid-side processing and nobody would make it clear as to how to do it. Little did I know fl had a native plugin encoder and easiest to setup. Came in clutch 🔥👍🏾
This is crazy.... Thanks 4 all the tutorials that uive always dropped..... U one of the best sound engineer n producer....great work bro n lots of love from u no one fan from Kenya....cheers
I've used this for a lot of things in my career but with your work I understand i can do so much with it. The best thing is that this is quickly programmed to a controller. I have an akai fire so imagine this can change a mix or instrument quick Thanks man
Thank you thank youuu! Been using this plugin's presets only but never knew how the knobs worked. Your clear and visual explainations really inspires me to learn and experiment more with fl studio. ❤️
Im really new to FL Studio’s and your videos are a god send. So many people make videos without explaining things in a way that people new to it will understand. Thanks for the fantastic content 🙌🔥💯
Dear In the mix ! I follow your channel and from the Swedish jury (=me) you get 12 points ! I really like your vids, the clarity and understandability (is that a word?) of it all. I also like stereo widening tools, and I particularly like the sound from the free stereo tool from kilohearts, it just sound good and yummy. However, beyond that, sometimes in recordings I notice that a distinct sound may originate from a point not in the stereo field, but sometimes from behind, sometimes from the side, sometimes from some distinct point within the space of a potentially huge soundscape extending not just to the sides but far front and behind. When a record sounds like this, all sounds completely pops out of the speakers, and are emerging from different places in the soundscape - behind, side, far away, near, etc. And it is not just reverberation, or stereo sound, I mean sound source. This is enhanced by closing eyes when listening. If you can refer to what I’m talking about, I would reeeeaaaalallllly appreciate if you could make a video on how to mix/produce like that. Sample recordings, on speakers, not headphones, close your eyes.: Stefano Battaglia - Album Raccolto - disc2 - track 5 Pourquoi, track 7 Veritas (and more tracks) Pat Metheny Group - Album the road to you - track 4 Half Life Absolution (intro 0-2:30) What say you? /T
The way you said ( Pull These Into Focus ) around 3:25 ) IM DONE🤣 TNX for being so much helpful in my music career from the beginning and still you are and will be 🤟
Aye thank u man you change my career and trajectory in music, I used to be so complacent and dumb when I opened fo studios but now I can really make whatever imagine or wonder and I think I’m getting better and better because of these 💯🦾👏🏾 big inspiration man
Hey Michael, great video as always. here are three ideas of topics for future videos: 1. Granular Synthesis 2. Synthesizing cymbals (stuff like hats and crashes) 3. A new, updated, more in depth video about gain staging.
Perfect video and perfect timing. I was struggling with my tracks being out of phase and now with this stereo shaper, Ive been able to get a track back in phase, in seconds. ONG! it changed my whole game. Phase issues are no longer a big deal for me. Stereo shaper will fix any and all of that. Would have been nice to do a video to show how we can use it to fix phase issues, showing a demo. I may do it myself 😃 🙏🙏✨✨
Thanks man, I’ve been using a lot, actually one on every mixer track. Meanwhile the mid side split it’s awesome but been using Pro Q-3 that really makes nice and easy. Keep up with the great work, great communication skills and plenty of knowledge.👊
I've understood the concept of side chaining but never bothered to try it out because why?? Thank you Michael for teaching us the why and the how and everything, TY
Its an amazing tutorial, i used to end up having things out of phase when using this plugin, but am more careful lately. I was looking forward to you addressing the in and out diffrence input box
I just love you ❤️ bro 😭 because I watch many vocal mixing videos on TH-cam but not that much improve in my vocal processing, when I am started watch your videos I was know everything what I exactly want which one is side chain vocal and much more I learn from you my brother I am very happy .😊
Its your blessing Michael to teach the world music production and the world miss u when u are not uploading do samthing on cord and mellody whats the difference and which one comes first
I beg you to please never stop doing these videos. Bless you for this shared knowledge
His videos have helped me so much! He is awesome!
No matter how many times I've tried, this plugin was quite hard to get used to. Thnks Michael!!!
I can't believe how to the point and easy to understand your videos are. I've been producing on FL for some time now and your videos have taught me lots of things, thank you.
CAN YOU PLEAS TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN UNDERSTOOD FROM THIS MIKE VIDEO !?I AM CURRIOUS ! HAVE CLEARN LEARN WHAT S TRYING TO EXPLAIN BEFORE HE REALLY UNDERSTAND IT ? OK MAZE WHAT S A MATRIX 2 POINTS ?DID YOU KNOW ? PLEASE MARK HERE !
Ive been using this program for 25 years...
Im STILL learning.....
Great vid....
Every single time I watch something from you I grow!. Thanks you for all you do for the community.
I'm beginning to think that you read my mind. I was wondering all day on a beat about how to use Stereo Shaper properly. Thank you.
This is the most comprehensive and informative tutorial on anything FL Studio related that I've ever seen.
Hey mate, been using FL since 2011 but only really got back into it this year. Your tutorials for each plugin are probably the most informative and easy to follow ever made, thanks a lot for your work. Plug-ins have come a long way and it’s so clear you don’t need to spend hundreds on third party plugins any more! Cheers man.
Been silently following your channel for quite a while now. Your content is top notch all the time. I especially enjoy your in depth plugin videos.
With this video you changed my life (as a mixer) once again. Image-Line should start sponsoring you or something since there're a lot of us that still stick with FL just because of the amazing things you discover to us!
Love how this channel makes me start using stock plugins that I've never tried
It's really very underrated plugin. When I started using this my mixes became koool
Every time I get stuck at a point in mixing, I know where to go in order to find a solution to my problem, & it usually ends up being way more simple than I imagined. Thank you for being one of the greatest teachers that I could find. You're doing an amazing job.
THE BEST THING IS TO READ THE PDF !
Micheal has a way of teaching thats so unique, like you must understand completely . thank you so much you've helped me and lots of people a thon . please make your videos way longer I enjoy every bit
Long time fan of the channel here!
You got amazing voice delivery and production quality! Always a pleasure to listen to your videos!
i didnt know about the sidechaining with this nor the presets. all i did was making it sound wider and i already loved it. never would have known i can do all of this with it. thanks a lot :)
I've been using this plugin for years but didn't know most of these tactics you showed us in this video. Thanks for expanding our knowledge man!
you could do a 6 hour long deep dive into the different types of bread, and i'd still listen. you have one of the most listenable voices on this platform and information you teach is actually helpful. thanks so much!
I have been waiting for this tutorial for quite a while! Thanks for making everything easy for me! Big love from Croatia!🔥🙏
Probably one of the strongest tools in fl studio that I’ve never learned to use. Thank you!
you actually blow my mind, as you show me how to do Mid-Side processing. I'm thankful. :)
this is mindboggling, i've been underestimating the stereo shaper
This is such a simple introduction to a plugin I didn't even know would be extremely useful - after 8+ years of producing, this has burst doors wide open for me. Thank you, Michael, you're a godsend.
Incredible. Love to see such comprehensive and yet concise tutorial, especially with time stamps. Liked and subbed.
Thanks for explaining this underrated plugin, Michael!
It's quite a neat little plugin. Its effect can quite easily be replicated with multiple plugins and sidechains, but it would take some extra resources, so I believe it is quite a helpful plugin to keep in mind when mixing, especially when you can't afford to use more resources than you absolutely have to.

I am almost at the pre-master of my first song and you seem to just listen to audiences' wishes, Michael! Thank you for your hardwork! 🙏🏻💙
Best music production Tutor on TH-cam in my opinion!
This guy is probably the best channel to go to to learn anything about music. So easy to watch and listen to, and so easy to reference in your own music. So good.
Thanks! Your such a great teacher !
You have impeccable timing. I was just experimenting with Stereo Shaper on a track recently.
*Hey Michael, you are a talented teacher began to watch your tutorials from 2017 i learnt a lot from you*
Thank you so much :) I’m practicing FL studio with you
i thought real hard about it, and i finally understand how the mid-side separation works. if we have equal (R) waveforms on each speaker, that creates a mono track of (R). if we have equal (L) waveforms on each side, that creates a mono track of (L). combining the two gives us a pure mono signal, and side-chaining the difference gives us a pure stereo signal. 🙌

Thanks ITM!
Dang! I used it to make my guitars sound wider, never used the side-chain feature... That's some new possible levels of complexity! Thank you!
6:38 What the Fuck. Thats so next level!!!! I ve watched tons of fl studio tutorials and NEVER saw that before, but it makes so much sense.
This Channel has a ridicilous level of quality. Props dude! I know you gotta be going for that on purpose. Its working.
There are always little hidden features in FL like this! Thanks so much for the kind words :)
You re welcome. Thanks for the knowledge!
You’re the best channel about mixing in TH-cam! Great work, I really hope one day you decide to sell a mixing course, even though your videos are really helpful, I would like to follow a course guideline. Anyway, you the best, I would trust my money on you.
Extremely underrated plugin. I use it on almost every project.
You really are the best teacher, I dont get bored watching your tutorials, it's really informative and easy to understand❤❤love from PH

Harry Osborn is making awesome fl tutorials
Wow thank you I have been looking of a way to get into mid-side processing and nobody would make it clear as to how to do it. Little did I know fl had a native plugin encoder and easiest to setup. Came in clutch 🔥👍🏾
Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new.
This man is just the best at FL on TH-cam.
Been waiting for this one so a big thanks for showing how ot works
This is crazy.... Thanks 4 all the tutorials that uive always dropped..... U one of the best sound engineer n producer....great work bro n lots of love from u no one fan from Kenya....cheers
I'm happy that I learnt something useful today.
I've used this for a lot of things in my career but with your work I understand i can do so much with it. The best thing is that this is quickly programmed to a controller. I have an akai fire so imagine this can change a mix or instrument quick
Thanks man
Wow, what an informative video. This has opened up a whole new flow of ideas for my music. Thanks so much for making this video
Thank you so much for being generous in sharing all this knowledge 🙏
Thank you thank youuu! Been using this plugin's presets only but never knew how the knobs worked. Your clear and visual explainations really inspires me to learn and experiment more with fl studio. ❤️
Mid Side processing changed my mixes. And this plugin is gold, thanks for the amazing content.
Right off the bat the first example opened a lot up to me. I normally only used this for the delay knob. Thank you
Great content again Max 🔥🙌🏾Appreciate the knowledge bro
Everytime I watch your video's I learn something new
WOW THIS IS POWERFUL THAN I EXPECTED
I RARELY USE THIS PLUGIN BECAUSE IT INTRODUCES A LOT OF CORRELATION
wow this was great.. I’ve been using the left right split since I saw this and it seems like I have so much control over my mixes
Im really new to FL Studio’s and your videos are a god send. So many people make videos without explaining things in a way that people new to it will understand.
Thanks for the fantastic content 🙌🔥💯
Perfect timing, just started using it again after a long gime. Got lost with what to do with it, this is a gem 🔥🚀
Hell yes I was hoping you'd do a video on this some day! Thank you yet again, Michael!
To be honest I used to never use this plugin but now I will definitely will. Thanks Michael
😍😍😍😍😍
Learning never stops
This is the only stereo tool i use but i never know about sidechaining.
Thanks a million
Dear In the mix !
I follow your channel and from the Swedish jury (=me) you get 12 points !

What say you?
/T
If your making rap instrumentals like me..all you will need is the mid side technique he just showed! Very good demonstration man.
Once again, you have made a really concise and helpful video tutorial. You are doing so much for FL users everywhere! Thank you greatly.
Wow bro thank you so much you're a great teacher man. I really appreciate the videos you make, you've taught me a lot!
The way you said ( Pull These Into Focus ) around 3:25 ) IM DONE🤣
TNX for being so much helpful in my music career from the beginning and still you are and will be 🤟
Love that plugin use it in every project, spaces things out and makes samples sound amazing
Aye thank u man you change my career and trajectory in music, I used to be so complacent and dumb when I opened fo studios but now I can really make whatever imagine or wonder and I think I’m getting better and better because of these 💯🦾👏🏾 big inspiration man
You make everything look so simple and straightforward
I love the way you teach 🤍
the pluck loop is FIRE wtf
Amazing! I've always been using this plugin for the Stereoize presets, didn't know you could so much things with it
Hey Michael, great video as always. here are three ideas of topics for future videos:
1. Granular Synthesis
2. Synthesizing cymbals (stuff like hats and crashes)
3. A new, updated, more in depth video about gain staging.
i really need to learn how to make synth cymbals, i suck at them
lets sell out all producer tricks/ techniques away great news xD
Perfect video and perfect timing. I was struggling with my tracks being out of phase and now with this stereo shaper, Ive been able to get a track back in phase, in seconds. ONG! it changed my whole game. Phase issues are no longer a big deal for me. Stereo shaper will fix any and all of that. Would have been nice to do a video to show how we can use it to fix phase issues, showing a demo. I may do it myself 😃 🙏🙏✨✨
Love your videos. Always very informative. Keep up the awesome work.
That was so clear, I now understand. Its a great plug in.
Finally a reason to come near that plugin. Thank you Michael
Thanks man, I’ve been using a lot, actually one on every mixer track.
Meanwhile the mid side split it’s awesome but been using Pro Q-3 that really makes nice and easy.
Keep up with the great work, great communication skills and plenty of knowledge.👊
I feel so left out after watching this the second time. So glad i understand it now, this is so simple
I’m SUPER EXCITED about this!!! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I've understood the concept of side chaining but never bothered to try it out because why?? Thank you Michael for teaching us the why and the how and everything, TY
So, What’s the concept of side-chaining?
Sidechaining has different meanings in different situations.
Been using this plugin since around 2010. Very underrated
My favorite tool. I'm so glad rn!
You are simply amazing
Its an amazing tutorial, i used to end up having things out of phase when using this plugin, but am more careful lately. I was looking forward to you addressing the in and out diffrence input box
I just love you ❤️ bro 😭 because I watch many vocal mixing videos on TH-cam but not that much improve in my vocal processing, when I am started watch your videos I was know everything what I exactly want which one is side chain vocal and much more I learn from you my brother I am very happy .😊
recommended channel for audio engineering.thankz a lot.❤
I'm inspired to continue making music always
Thx. I didn't know that function of the splitter in the Stereo Shaper through side-chaining in the mixer. Great tip.
Your videos helped me a lot im a rapper mix my own songs last step was always stereo shaping mid side for that perfect mix and u helped me so much
This totorial really help me . Thankyou Mike.
This guy breaks fl studio down like he invented the daw 😂😂
He is a master
💯👍
So true😂
Michael, for real, if you make a program with all your knowledge you will be millionaire in 1 year, thanks for your content, much love ❤💫
this is easily my fav plugin. Thanks for teaching me how to use it
Its your blessing Michael to teach the world music production and the world miss u when u are not uploading do samthing on cord and mellody whats the difference and which one comes first
Mixing is truly an art
Thankful for this one..🙏🏽 Never disappoints..
