Thanks for the really detailed tutorial, as always. On the DC function of Utility, I'm not sure I understand why you wouldn't always have that activated - or am I missing something? And would it work only on individual tracks rather than Group or Master?
Hey Buddy. Like your style :-) Stupid question here but when I am recording Mid Side microphone technique I'd just like to clarify something: Mid mic (cardioid) panned centre - Side mic (fig 8) is duplicated on to another track - Both original and duped side mic channels are panned hard left and right - drop the "phase invert" utility effect on one of the side channels = Done. Am I correct? Is there anything else I need to do when recording MS mic technique? Cheers :-)
Is there ever any reason to not use DC offset on my recordings then? I sometimes notice some offset in recordings with lots of low end (kick drum mics and bass tracks) so I have been using the DC button on those usually. I'm hearing here that I may as well just use it on anything and everything since there could be small amounts of DC offset, even synthetically, reducing the "efficiency of my speakers"??
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately I’m stuck on a fundamental. Clearly I’m doing something wrong here. Any help appreciated. I have a stereo snare sample and want to make it mono. I’ve dropped the snare into drum rack and placed a utility on the track. When I change the width to 0 and pan the track it doesn’t move the sound from left to right. Even at ‘50R’ the sound is still in the left speaker but sounds like it’s just lost some presence. I cannot pan the sound. Is this normal/expected? I don’t believe it is…
@techNet Yeah, I use Utility all the time; excellent video. I have a question which I can leave in comments or do you have an email? It's a BIT unusual so I thought mailing an email is best.
It's the one device I have literally on every channel. Very underestimated device and glad you put up this indepth tutorial.
Glad you like it! Subscribe and share to support! :-)
Phase reversal was what I came for. Quick & pragmatic - thanks a lot!
Great tutorial man, so good to discover new features, totally didn't know about the mid side option!!Thanks!!
So that's what DC offset is for! Great video. Thank you.
Incredibly in-depth tutorial! Thank you for sharing this valuable information!

Great tutorial!
Nice Class!!!!
Fantastic, thanks a lot!
Great Tranhks!!!
does utility split the clicks and the backing tracks? I tried panning 2 channels from left and right but I can still hear the clicks on 1 channel

What is that synth in the background?
So should baselines be set to Bass mono as a general rule?
hi if I want to mix in mono, would I use the utility width to 0 or just the yellow mono button enabled?? thank you.

I have the same question!

Does anyone know a third party plugin that you can balance between the mid/side like that? Im using Logic

idk why but whenever you say the letter "s" its ear piercingly loud
