    Jon Tidey 02/07/12 02:04 PM,
    This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine.   In this article I’ll explain how I use mid-side (MS) processing on stereo sources for practical or creative effects. Mid-Side? Two channels of audio can be combined in a way that gives us control over what is the same in each signal, the middle, and what is different, the sides.

    Brian Gowing 02/07/12 12:53 PM,

They were in need of more channels than their Allen & Heath 16-channel MixWiz with some outboard gear (front of house EQ, couple of compressors, effects unit) could provide. Based on the maximum number of channels that they anticipated needing over the next five years, I recommended the PreSonus StudioLive 24.4, one of… View this post
