Mid/Side processing in Reason

[Marco Raaphorst]

I wrote a blog for how to do Mid/Side processing in Reason: http://melodiefabriek.com/blog/midside- ... in-reason/

Great article as always Marco, thanks for sharing!

Nice and straightforward, I was just wondering about this more the other night.

Could you include a patch as well possibly?

what patch do you need? I am using REs for this so it's tricky

this look really interesting thank u for the blog

hi marco

this was a really great tutorial for me - it was easy to understand your guide and i thank you for it.

i have one small question about the mid/side processing.. can it only be hard panned channels that can be processed using this method? for example if i had varying pan setting for some instruments (half panned, quarter panned etc) where will these sounds go or does it mean i either have to pan hard all the way or keep in the middle for that instrument or sample or whatever its is.

thank you again

you don't need to do anything about panning it is simply this:
- A MONO signal called Mid (read: middle) containing the frequencies which are played at the same volume level in both speakers, left and right, at exactly the same time. In other words: these are identical frequencies for both speakers.
- A MONO signal called Side containing the frequencies which are out-of-phase with each other when you compare the left with the right. In other words: frequencies which are only happening in one speaker at a certain time and not at all in the other speaker.

the MID/SIDE processor will find out which frequencies in both channels are the same and which in both channels are different.

hard panned channels will probably, because of out-of-phase, end up in the side channel. so you can further process them that way if you want.

but maybe I don't understand what you want to achieve.

I think there are a few patches in the FSB aswell, at least for compression afair.

yes but that other RE has very useful additional features. check it, it is really cool!
