FL STUDIO Stereo Shaper - Everything You Need To Know

[@ebososa]

I beg you to please never stop doing these videos. Bless you for this shared knowledge

[@KeyLowTheHybrid]

His videos have helped me so much! He is awesome!

[@lukhmanthufile]

No matter how many times I've tried, this plugin was quite hard to get used to. Thnks Michael!!!

[@TheMayorOfDc]

Ive been using this program for 25 years... Im STILL learning..... Great vid....

[@zephh_sk]

I can't believe how to the point and easy to understand your videos are. I've been producing on FL for some time now and your videos have taught me lots of things, thank you.

[@prenumenumedefamilie3418]

CAN YOU PLEAS TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN UNDERSTOOD FROM THIS MIKE VIDEO !?I AM CURRIOUS ! HAVE CLEARN LEARN WHAT S TRYING TO EXPLAIN BEFORE HE REALLY UNDERSTAND IT ? OK MAZE WHAT S A MATRIX 2 POINTS ?DID YOU KNOW ? PLEASE MARK HERE !

[@chriskraves8301]

Every single time I watch something from you I grow!. Thanks you for all you do for the community.

[@PetiPolk]

I'm beginning to think that you read my mind. I was wondering all day on a beat about how to use Stereo Shaper properly. Thank you.

[@twosnakse]

Hey mate, been using FL since 2011 but only really got back into it this year. Your tutorials for each plugin are probably the most informative and easy to follow ever made, thanks a lot for your work. Plug-ins have come a long way and it’s so clear you don’t need to spend hundreds on third party plugins any more! Cheers man.

[@polopiipolo]

Love how this channel makes me start using stock plugins that I've never tried

[@TheFinalGamerRN]

With this video you changed my life (as a mixer) once again. Image-Line should start sponsoring you or something since there're a lot of us that still stick with FL just because of the amazing things you discover to us!

[@Venuser]

Been silently following your channel for quite a while now. Your content is top notch all the time. I especially enjoy your in depth plugin videos.

[@MaybeWinstonMain]

i didnt know about the sidechaining with this nor the presets. all i did was making it sound wider and i already loved it. never would have known i can do all of this with it. thanks a lot :)

[@21136leebyron]

Extremely underrated plugin. I use it on almost every project.

[@nebojsabuhac1442]

Every time I get stuck at a point in mixing, I know where to go in order to find a solution to my problem, & it usually ends up being way more simple than I imagined. Thank you for being one of the greatest teachers that I could find. You're doing an amazing job.

[@prenumenumedefamilie3418]

THE BEST THING IS TO READ THE PDF !

[@producedby3am344]

Probably one of the strongest tools in fl studio that I’ve never learned to use. Thank you!

[@Bobbizymusic]

Micheal has a way of teaching thats so unique, like you must understand completely . thank you so much you've helped me and lots of people a thon . please make your videos way longer I enjoy every bit

[@Gxplosion]

You just unlocked a whole world for me. Picked up a wa-273 which has 2 preamps and independent eq’s. I just took a mix I was working on into a session and sent the mid through one side and the sides through the other and then was able to do mid side processing on my 273. It almost sounds like I have a console it sounds so good! Thank you for all your help through the years!!!

[@AziDoesQuestionableThings]

you could do a 6 hour long deep dive into the different types of bread, and i'd still listen. you have one of the most listenable voices on this platform and information you teach is actually helpful. thanks so much!

[@MarkoStcTV]

I've been using this plugin for years but didn't know most of these tactics you showed us in this video. Thanks for expanding our knowledge man!

[@spcraftsman2656]

It's quite a neat little plugin. Its effect can quite easily be replicated with multiple plugins and sidechains, but it would take some extra resources, so I believe it is quite a helpful plugin to keep in mind when mixing, especially when you can't afford to use more resources than you absolutely have to.

[@howard555]

i thought real hard about it, and i finally understand how the mid-side separation works. if we have equal (R) waveforms on each speaker, that creates a mono track of (R). if we have equal (L) waveforms on each side, that creates a mono track of (L). combining the two gives us a pure mono signal, and side-chaining the difference gives us a pure stereo signal. 🙌

[@trumansienicki]

Thanks for explaining this underrated plugin, Michael!

[@vishalpazzo]

It's really very underrated plugin. When I started using this my mixes became koool

[@flexile7939]

as far as I know you can use phase dial in complex with delay dial. First you widen up your signal with Delay to your taste, than you switch master to mono and start to twist Phase dial until you start to hear the low end you've missed before. Hope that's helpful. And thank for the video btw, didn't know about midside split:)

[@xnervemusic]

Everytime I watch your video's I learn something new

[@chocolah]

the pluck loop is FIRE wtf

[@andrewzack47285]

I'm happy that I learnt something useful today.

[@manasiangal1405]

I am almost at the pre-master of my first song and you seem to just listen to audiences' wishes, Michael! Thank you for your hardwork! 🙏🏻💙

[@warphalak]

Dang! I used it to make my guitars sound wider, never used the side-chain feature... That's some new possible levels of complexity! Thank you!

[@Sykelone]

This is such a simple introduction to a plugin I didn't even know would be extremely useful - after 8+ years of producing, this has burst doors wide open for me. Thank you, Michael, you're a godsend.

[@Pulsar-h7w]

You have impeccable timing. I was just experimenting with Stereo Shaper on a track recently.

[@kardingpalad]

You really are the best teacher, I dont get bored watching your tutorials, it's really informative and easy to understand❤❤love from PH

[@Jimmy-bc4rh]

you actually blow my mind, as you show me how to do Mid-Side processing. I'm thankful. :)

[@bugstrength7314]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new.

[@cashsounds3704]

Wow thank you I have been looking of a way to get into mid-side processing and nobody would make it clear as to how to do it. Little did I know fl had a native plugin encoder and easiest to setup. Came in clutch 🔥👍🏾

[@andreaskachelmeiermusic]

To be honest I used to never use this plugin but now I will definitely will. Thanks Michael

[@tsongyt7539]

WOW THIS IS POWERFUL THAN I EXPECTED I RARELY USE THIS PLUGIN BECAUSE IT INTRODUCES A LOT OF CORRELATION

[@rildsey-man3442]

This guy is probably the best channel to go to to learn anything about music. So easy to watch and listen to, and so easy to reference in your own music. So good.

[@hanomedia]

*Hey Michael, you are a talented teacher began to watch your tutorials from 2017 i learnt a lot from you*

[@saryulis137]

I feel so left out after watching this the second time. So glad i understand it now, this is so simple

[@OperculumAudio]

That's super cool, I never knew Stereo Shaper could function as a send signal, and send just the side information to a separate FL Mixer Track. I had always done it more complicated by adding a Fruity Send Track on the original Mixer Channel, and then applying the Stereo Separation on the receiving end track. You know so many useful tricks. Thanks ITM!

[@davidmorganmusic6519]

Best music production Tutor on KZbin in my opinion!

[@ajthemonk]

Right off the bat the first example opened a lot up to me. I normally only used this for the delay knob. Thank you

[@axdambient]

I've used this for a lot of things in my career but with your work I understand i can do so much with it. The best thing is that this is quickly programmed to a controller. I have an akai fire so imagine this can change a mix or instrument quick Thanks man

[@yahymusic]

this is mindboggling, i've been underestimating the stereo shaper

[@iningumusic]

Thank you so much for being generous in sharing all this knowledge 🙏

[@sickbeatsproductions6664]

Been using this plugin since around 2010. Very underrated

[@charlierobinson7119]

wow this was great.. I’ve been using the left right split since I saw this and it seems like I have so much control over my mixes

[@Drastik_Loops]

If your making rap instrumentals like me..all you will need is the mid side technique he just showed! Very good demonstration man.

[@-Lo-Key-]

Love that plugin use it in every project, spaces things out and makes samples sound amazing

[@catmasterOP]

Long time fan of the channel here! You got amazing voice delivery and production quality! Always a pleasure to listen to your videos!

[@stephensquare7093]

😍😍😍😍😍 Learning never stops This is the only stereo tool i use but i never know about sidechaining. Thanks a million

[@main4768]

Mixing is truly an art

[@DelOfficialUK]

Perfect timing, just started using it again after a long gime. Got lost with what to do with it, this is a gem 🔥🚀

[@mdk1983]

You make everything look so simple and straightforward

[@unkownuser8190]

I have been waiting for this tutorial for quite a while! Thanks for making everything easy for me! Big love from Croatia!🔥🙏

[@moonwithtrumpet9704]

Thank you thank youuu! Been using this plugin's presets only but never knew how the knobs worked. Your clear and visual explainations really inspires me to learn and experiment more with fl studio. ❤️

[@patrickstone7188]

Im really new to FL Studio’s and your videos are a god send. So many people make videos without explaining things in a way that people new to it will understand. Thanks for the fantastic content 🙌🔥💯

[@raynoldsvocaldo4244]

This is crazy.... Thanks 4 all the tutorials that uive always dropped..... U one of the best sound engineer n producer....great work bro n lots of love from u no one fan from Kenya....cheers

[@morris_de]

You are simply amazing

[@ThreeBelowZero]

This man is just the best at FL on KZbin.

[@sandilesihlangu3446]

Finally a reason to come near that plugin. Thank you Michael

[@normanlove222]

Perfect video and perfect timing. I was struggling with my tracks being out of phase and now with this stereo shaper, Ive been able to get a track back in phase, in seconds. ONG! it changed my whole game. Phase issues are no longer a big deal for me. Stereo shaper will fix any and all of that. Would have been nice to do a video to show how we can use it to fix phase issues, showing a demo. I may do it myself 😃 🙏🙏✨✨

[@izzy6o839]

Aye thank u man you change my career and trajectory in music, I used to be so complacent and dumb when I opened fo studios but now I can really make whatever imagine or wonder and I think I’m getting better and better because of these 💯🦾👏🏾 big inspiration man

[@raphaelchiti6164]

Its an amazing tutorial, i used to end up having things out of phase when using this plugin, but am more careful lately. I was looking forward to you addressing the in and out diffrence input box

[@hectorsantana3421]

Incredible. Love to see such comprehensive and yet concise tutorial, especially with time stamps. Liked and subbed.

[@Maxc_]

Mid Side processing changed my mixes. And this plugin is gold, thanks for the amazing content.

[@xCYSRxSUPERMAN]

I've understood the concept of side chaining but never bothered to try it out because why?? Thank you Michael for teaching us the why and the how and everything, TY

[@user-ux1vj9vx7s]

So, What’s the concept of side-chaining?

[@timmyblom2516]

Sidechaining has different meanings in different situations.

[@meioameio2730]

You’re the best channel about mixing in KZbin! Great work, I really hope one day you decide to sell a mixing course, even though your videos are really helpful, I would like to follow a course guideline. Anyway, you the best, I would trust my money on you.

[@yonatanlilo]

Hey Michael, great video as always. here are three ideas of topics for future videos: 1. Granular Synthesis 2. Synthesizing cymbals (stuff like hats and crashes) 3. A new, updated, more in depth video about gain staging.

[@snesmocha]

i really need to learn how to make synth cymbals, i suck at them

[@qzxsoundszx3406]

lets sell out all producer tricks/ techniques away great news xD

[@shaktipadaofficial1853]

I just love you ❤️ bro 😭 because I watch many vocal mixing videos on KZbin but not that much improve in my vocal processing, when I am started watch your videos I was know everything what I exactly want which one is side chain vocal and much more I learn from you my brother I am very happy .😊

[@matthewchavezm.b.s5503]

Thx. I didn't know that function of the splitter in the Stereo Shaper through side-chaining in the mixer. Great tip.

[@fabdriving5615]

Thanks man, I’ve been using a lot, actually one on every mixer track. Meanwhile the mid side split it’s awesome but been using Pro Q-3 that really makes nice and easy. Keep up with the great work, great communication skills and plenty of knowledge.👊

[@MusicPendant]

The way you said ( Pull These Into Focus ) around 3:25 ) IM DONE🤣 TNX for being so much helpful in my music career from the beginning and still you are and will be 🤟

[@t.a.e9143]

Dear In the mix ! I follow your channel and from the Swedish jury (=me) you get 12 points ! I really like your vids, the clarity and understandability (is that a word?) of it all. I also like stereo widening tools, and I particularly like the sound from the free stereo tool from kilohearts, it just sound good and yummy. However, beyond that, sometimes in recordings I notice that a distinct sound may originate from a point not in the stereo field, but sometimes from behind, sometimes from the side, sometimes from some distinct point within the space of a potentially huge soundscape extending not just to the sides but far front and behind. When a record sounds like this, all sounds completely pops out of the speakers, and are emerging from different places in the soundscape - behind, side, far away, near, etc. And it is not just reverberation, or stereo sound, I mean sound source. This is enhanced by closing eyes when listening. If you can refer to what I’m talking about, I would reeeeaaaalallllly appreciate if you could make a video on how to mix/produce like that. Sample recordings, on speakers, not headphones, close your eyes.: Stefano Battaglia - Album Raccolto - disc2 - track 5 Pourquoi, track 7 Veritas (and more tracks) Pat Metheny Group - Album the road to you - track 4 Half Life Absolution (intro 0-2:30) What say you? /T

[@ilaripori6148]

WHAT AN INSANE VALUE IN THIS VIDEO

[@tukynii]

this is easily my fav plugin. Thanks for teaching me how to use it

[@abcdefgh6020]

Amazing! I've always been using this plugin for the Stereoize presets, didn't know you could so much things with it

[@erangajayalathmusic6558]

recommended channel for audio engineering.thankz a lot.❤

[@GarviHere]

Harry Osborn is making awesome fl tutorials

[@greenfieldofficial2419]

Thank you so much :) I’m practicing FL studio with you

[@jupiter901]

That was so clear, I now understand. Its a great plug in.

[@1Realsolodolo]

Your videos helped me a lot im a rapper mix my own songs last step was always stereo shaping mid side for that perfect mix and u helped me so much

[@C_Corpze]

I’ve used stereo shaper to make stereo side-chainers in patcher. I like automating my mixing using patcher, it basically becomes it’s own mini VST.

[@meruski7759]

Im so dumb i try so hard for my music yesterday i start to notice why the chord sound professional on earphone but when play on mobile speaker or mono output it suck all the good frequency gone. Today i learn from ur video. Thanks man everytime its you who help me alot about all the doubt.

[@DisOtherworldlyWTBeatz]

Wow bro thank you so much you're a great teacher man. I really appreciate the videos you make, you've taught me a lot!

[@SiToZeN]

[@inthemix]

There are always little hidden features in FL like this! Thanks so much for the kind words :)
