One of the advantages of M/S is good mono compatibility. The other advantage is that you can adjust the "spaciousness" of the stereo image by adjusting the relationship between the M and S channels. That was evident in the difference between Porterhouse's first mix and my first mix. As...

Yeah, that's very common on some Oriental guitars. My Peavey BXP 4 bass has the printed flame on it. If you use a 10x loupe, you can see how the image is made. You wouldn't believe how many things are "printed" these days. The tile that I used for my bathroom is a marble look... all...

I don't think there is any more of an issue with M/S vs any other stereo technique. All the summing and difference manipulation is done in the electronic realm, not magically in the speakers. Checking on speakers goes for ANY mixing project. I will listen on headphones, but any decisions...

Are you trying to do voice over or audio books? I think regardless of the treatment, the key to getting voice over work isn't going to be whether you have bass traps or a lot of foam panels or just egg cartons on the wall. It's going to be your voice. Your enunciation, your timber and...

I like the idea, but it really cries out for a "song" portion. The speech part gets lost, and honestly any message gets buried. You could do a verse/ speech / verse / speech setup, but for me just putting music behind his rant doesn't get it. Use the speech in place of a bridge or...

There are several groups that I like to check out. Lexington Lab Band and Lenoid and Friends are both really good. I haven't seen Martin Miller before. That's a nice rendition of a great song!

I'm a bit of the opposite, I tend not to buy guitars with looks that I dislike. I like the looks of the guitars that I buy, but that's not the reason I bought them. I've only bought 3 guitars unplayed and I knew I liked those particular models of guitar. There are several guitars that I...

Since the original post was from 2001, if he still has it, he would be 24 years in.

We would just bring the demag in from a few feet away, move over all the metal parts, and then just swing your arm across your body. You can easily reach 3 or 4 ft before you turn it off. You don't need to walk across the room.

I never worried about tapes losing anything. I have a demagnetiser, and would pull it out after a couple of months. As Rob said, cleaning with Isopropyl would happen weekly. I seriously doubt that you are wearing the tape down unless you're doing 6-8 hour sessions every day for months...

I just finished all the yard work, and checked out the thread to see if there was any resolution. I pulled down the file, and my initial thought was that you were sending the track to a "mono" subgroup track where you can only pan left/right. That didn't turn out to be the case. It was...

What might have been more useful would be to post the folder with the RPP and two audio files of a non working setup. That way we could maybe dissect the routing an look for an issue. We've already proven that the technique worked with the two files.

Welcome to HR, Mike. Feel free to ask questions or add expertise and experiences. We're all here to learn, discuss and half fun.

Not an effect, it's a technique, as valid as X/Y, AB, ORTF, Blumlein, Near Coincident, or DIN.

That's the trick with M/S. The CAD is in figure 8 mode, and you copy the file to a second channel and invert it. Look at the picture of the Reaper setup I put above. You can see the two "side channel" tracks are inverted. Those are both the same file. If you talk into the right side...

I gave your track a listen, and it was absolutely fine. Compared to some of the US raps, it was more understandable than what I hear normally. Also, when I see "rap", I usually associate it with hip hop with little to no music, just a bunch of percussion with and maybe an occasional couple...

Sorry, that's where it is. That way I could confirm that the waveform was inverted, which shows in the picture. I shouldn't try to do things by memory! :unsure: Rob, I think the difference is in the mix between the M and S channels. The S channels by themselves are quite hollow...

Porterhouse, it was definitely stereo. I used my headphones and your voice moved from side to side. I took the same files and put them in Reaper and got the same result. Here's my mix, and the setting in Reaper. I inverted the file by going to Track Properties, and phase invert. This...

How to you get the files from your R16 to your DAW? I always just pull the SD card from my R24 and copy the files directly to the computer. I have never bothered with using the USB connection, but it shouldn't make a difference. I might try doing an M/S with my R24 later. I can't see...

Then leave your gain high and live with crummy distorted recordings. It's your choice.
