Great video. I've found mid-side processing is an area in mixing where knowing a bit about what's going on "under the hood" can make a difference. Your explanation at the beginning helped a lot in this regard. Thanks so much!
This Mid/Size-Stuff is not only great on Drums, but it's *the* secret sauce on Vocal tracks in ballads! Combined with the other video about Mid/Siding the Stereo-Effects the mixes get so much better. Thanks a lot!
Great techniques and very well explained, thank you! The downside is that the sound loses "grip", it gets a bit washy in the end. But as you mentioned, this is just to give us an idea of what is possible. And I will keep it in mind for sure.
@AudioMountain777 I know you are new to Studio One, and as you didn't mention the Studio One Splitter which can also split to mid side, there is a little chance that you don't know about it, but probably you know already. I only mention it for completeness and any reader/viewer who is interested.
Wow! Subtle and huge difference! Like when the wizard of oz goes from black and white to color! I noticed width and depth and height too.. just got better headphones finally too just in time for this lol.. considering how often I see people wearing ear buds or whatever now this tutorial is a game changer. So many aspects to this technique its next level 🙏😎 blown away 🤯 can wait to try this out.. You make it look so easy too.. here's hoping lol Thank you AM!!! You Rock!!! 😎🙏🕊️
@@AudioMountain777 Thanks so much! Over the last few days I've been going over the vocal vids you did and re processing its sounding much better! Clearer and more balanced absolute improvement! This is next...!!!! I have a spacious guitar track i can't wait too try this out on!!! Thanks again AM! This is next level info and so well explained!!! Thank you 👼🙏🕊️🎸💥
I went through the panning and decibel issues on the Q&A, hope that helps. These hacks come with issues and there is no perfect solution for them, but still useful to know about. Thanks Owl!
So useful! Sometimes a track just needs something to bring it to life in the mix and this is freaking GREAT! I suppose it is just weighing up the benefits v probs but I'm sure it'll get easier to decide as time goes on.. but at the moment it Christmas lol Thanks again AM!!! 😎🙏🕊️@@AudioMountain777

The best explaining vid about mid-side so far,and i watched a ton of them.Thank you ser. P.S.Did anyone mentioned to you that your voice is similar to the voice of Michael Shannon, the actor(great actor btw)!?
WHat happens when the organ and guitar have 1/4 and 1/8 delay etc . Will this work for lets say synth with delays on it. How would you deal with that? Thank you so much by the way!!
Delaying mids and sides by less than 25 milliseconds is so minute that you won't have to worry about 1/8 note or 1/4 note delays, but it will add to the effect very subtly, but not in s way that sounds out of time so yes, it works on synths as well.
One last question at the end of the video when you taje the sides of the drums , organs and guitars. My question the tracks labeled mid and side for each. Are they duplicate waves called side and mids or are they example drum buss sending to another buss called side and another called mids for each. My question is did you duplicate waves and called it side and mids for the drums , organ , guitar. Do I need to do a stereo mix down wave for each and apply the trick or its get applied to a bus called mid adn another called side for each before it goes the last buss called sides. I got lost heir. Highly appreciate it.
They are all stereo duplicates that are each isolated to mids and sides, then all the mids tracks are sent to a mids bus, and same for the sides tracks. That way you have a bus for mids and a bus for sides.

You're welcome!
This video is amazing, easily the best mid-side exploration video I've ever seen. Thanks for putting it together!
You're welcome! Thank you!
This is far and away the best mixing channel on youtube.
Wow, thanks! Glad to hear it. Thanks for watching!
I agree. I’ve just discovered it and the information is absolutely incredible. Love it.
Thanks!
Another well informed, well delivered and interesting topic, thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Genius! I never really messed around with mid/side processing. It's fascinating stuff!
cheers
Glad you liked it!
what kind of black magic is this, holy moly
Glad you enjoyed it, Marco!
Fantastic!!!Thanks!

Thank you! Yeah, I over pushed the sides on purpose for the demonstration. Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you, splitter is awesome, very helpful tool, and I appreciate you mentioning it here.

@@AudioMountain777 are the stereo duplicates a copied stereo wave file on another stereo track or are using send?
They are copied or duplicated
1st comment. Yeah let's go!
