    This has quickly become my favourite EQ. I don't think people fully realize just how big of a deal this was when it launched, but as time goes by they will. It's very musical sounding.

      @chicogregori 4 года назад +35

      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.

    Thanks for the quick explanation; it helped a lot! I am curious what other people think: If you want to EQ specifically the low center end of a mix (bass, kick, etc.), wouldn't it be more natural to just go back into the mix and EQ those tracks, respectively? Let's say I have two guitars, panned hard left and right, but I want them to sound brighter; wouldn't it be better to just raise the EQ on their respective channels than to EQ the mix as a whole? TL;DR: What's the benefit of mid-side EQ over just EQing each instrument? Thanks :)

    • @itsnrv1817

    • @itsnrv1817
      @itsnrv1817 2 года назад +1

      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.

Pretty disappointed to see a showcase of your EQ with the "magic" slider, that does things, but no mentioning, how it does it.

      @@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.

    Fantastic E.Q, the only thing it's missing is a slider to drag the E.Q point up and down after you've boosted to find the frequency you want to cut etc.
    Also, just to play devils advocate... would it not make more sense just to go back to the individual tracks (contained in the mids and sides) and adjust the E.Q on the individual channels of busses?

    Steven I love you’re plugins but this wasn’t a very accurate explanation of mid side processing. Mid is any information that is in phase when the left and right are summed to mono. Side is the information that is out of phase between the left and right. Yes anything planned right down the middle would only be in the mid because it’s exactly the same in the L&R, thus would be exactly out of phase if you flipped the phase of the L or R. But at the same time anything panned hard L or R would be contained in both the mid and the side because there’s nothing in the other side to cancel it out whether it’s in or out of phase. Stereo sources are going to be effected by both as well as there is information that is both in and out of phase contained in the audio.
