Mid Side EQ Explained 

Maybe because Steven Slate has defined Mid/Side erroneously. Mid is not necessarily what is perceived exclusively the middle , but the resultant audio from the summing of L & R channels (L + R, that is 0 degree phase shift content - totally in phase signal). Whereas Side is the resultant audio from the difference of L & R (L - R, that is 180 degrees phase shift content - totally out of phase signal). Example of why Steven Slate defined it wrong: a hi-hat (or a guitar, or a tom, whatever) panned to the left is affected by Mid EQing, even if it's postioned to the furthest left in the panoram (check it yourself in your Daw!). The way he explains is like MidEQing affects only what's in the center, and that is not true. He has a great voice though.

@@chicogregori I see, thanks makes sense.

Mostly bots probably

That's just a promo disguised as a tutorial.

@@jensloetzsch They took fabfilter features & put them in a new interface. Personally I think it's easier to use, but arguing fabfilter vs infinity is like arguing over which DAW is best.

Yes please. Good question! Mid side compression with slate digital is possible?

And better optimization. The plugin loads slow.

if you have stems yes it’s much easier to just tweak individual tracks. some people don’t have the luxury of that in some songs

mid side allows you to attenuate frequencies that are either only in stereo (side) or only in mono (mid). with this, you can fine tweak specific frequencies of each instrument without changing the entire sound of the instrument ((ie if i side eq a guitar 5k hz +2dB, i’m only changing how the guitar is perceived in the stereo field but the content of the guitar that’s in the center of the field. it’s a bit more specific as to how i’m explaining it but just to help get the point across.

@david lincoln brooks fabfilter did a much better job at explaining the principle behind this.

It isn't...it is just a chimera...

Wrong!

You can at least say WHY I’m wrong

@@RaduJon Sure! Mid is not necessarily what you perceive exclusively in the center (like kicks and snares). It's a little bit tricky, but simple. A hard panned signal does have Mid content and you percieve it totally in the side for example. Mid is the resultant audio from the summing of L & R channels (L + R, that is 0 degree phase shift content - totally in phase signal). Whereas Side is the resultant audio from the difference of L & R (L - R, that is 180 degrees phase shift content - totally out of phase signal). Steven Slate defined it wrong, why? Example: A hi-hat (or a guitar, or a tom, whatever) panned to the left is affected by Mid EQing, even if it's postioned to the furthest left in the panoram (check it yourself in your Daw!). When you do, howerver, mono the master channel you hear only the Mids, but no Sides (that is, only the in phase L/R content, and no 180 degree out of phase L/R content). When in stereo, signals can still be panned to the left or to right (not in the center) and "survive the monoing", that's because they have Mid and Side content, like the hi-hat example. The way he explains is like MidEQing affects only what's in the center, and that is not true. Check this tutorial mate: theproaudiofiles.com/mid-side-processing/

Francisco Gregori You are certainly technical and well informed 😊 Respect 👍

@@RaduJon Tks bro!

Cat andbeats you can with Pro Q3 and per band dynamic side chain

You can do that right now in our SnapHeap plugin!!

@@jackt3019 wow that sounds nagical

@@SlateDigitalTV How do we process M/S in Snap Heap?

Jason Maurer thanks for this feedback, however, the goal with this video was to explain the concept in a way that was easy for producers to understand and achieve results. So in that respect, I think this explanation works! 🤟

Overtime with practice you’ll hear how subtleties like this mid side EQ improves the mix 👍🏼 They have a ear exercise included in their all access subscription that trains you to hear certain frequencies and determine if they’ve been boosted, cut, etc
