The best tutorials on KZbin !

Awesome thank you so much 5 R! SageAudio.com

[@Jisooee]

This is what I've been so excited! This is your 2nd video about midside processing! ThankU sage audio! Gonna learn more by watching this video

[@sageaudio]

Awesome! Thanks Riona! Glad you've been liking the Mid-side topic videos! SageAudio.com

[@Keroser1983]

Amazing tips and you are the channel that only focuses MS processing so deep, with so many tips. I wish I have discovered MS processing earlier. You guys rock!!!

[@sageaudio]

Thank you so much! Glad you've liked these M/S videos and that they've been helpful! SageAudio.com

[@NikolausBrocke]

I can only agree to the previous posts. This channel and MixbusTV with David Gnozzi are probably the best resource for valuable mix and mastering tips. Not just a one shot but regularly. Thanks for this phantastic content!

[@sageaudio]

Thanks Nikolaus! Great to hear that you enjoy our channel! SageAudio.com

[@MiracleDee]

Another GOLDEN tutorial ! This channel has become a goldmine of 'mastering tutorials'. I really liked the "Quick Settings" idea. It gives a nice starting point.

[@sageaudio]

Awesome! Glad to hear you liked this one! And good to hear you liked those - they're almost like presets haha. SageAudio.com

I watch the videos, and then save them in my watch later list. That being said, Sage Audio tutorials are all I plan on watching later. These videos are more than appreciated!

That's great Tony! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos and the channel! SageAudio.com

[@ashleyneptune3239]

This is my favourite channel, I watch every video, thank you : ) Of all the mastering courses offered, do you have any recommendations? Do you feel these video's cover most of what you need or more in depth training is required?

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching Ashley! Great to hear you've been enjoying the channel! I haven't tried any to be honest, so I wouldn't be able to give a recommendation unfortunately. Our videos do cover a lot, but I always think the best thing you can do is master as much music as possible to train you ear. Once your ear is trained, and you understand what your gear is doing, you should be able to master music well! SageAudio.com

[@todezwis]

I thought I had seen a video from you where to talk about settings for mid-side to use on your main out in the mix, and then also in the Mastering, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Do happen to know which video it was?

[@andrecarvalho309]

Amazing tutorials, thank you so much for sharing the knowledge. When you use the Pro Q on the bus and high pass the sides, do you keep it on zero latency mode or do you think is better to change to Linear Phase mode? Thanks

Hi Sage Audio this tutorial has been very helpful but how do you duplicate the master channel in fl studio

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching! To be honest I'm not sure - it's not a DAW I use all that often.

[@edoardomenta6703]

good video, but guys: if you compress more the mid channel, you're enhancing the MONO signal. Otherwise if you compress more the side signal you're enhancing the STEREO width and NOT the opposite, since there's dynamic gain reduction and so an higher perceived loudness (Regarding a gain compensation).

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching Edoardo! What you've described doesn't seem to be the case. If you compress the mid image you'll notice the sides become louder by comparison - resulting in a wider image. SageAudio.com

[@edoardomenta6703]

@@sageaudio ok. Try to put a Stereo Imager after and (obviously) gain compensate the compressed mid/side signal.

Can you tell us this? If in ozone 5 dynamic, i use the gate and make its ratio (1:2) :1:0 ,... Is this upward compression or expansion? And if I use compression ratio same... Which is what???? And which is better??? I have experiment with both... Both gets the sound below the threshold upwards...

[@HollerAtcherBoi]

Your question marks are aggressive. Calm down

[@shivjayvolvloikar]

@@HollerAtcherBoi 😅

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching Shivjay! I've always found this part of Ozone a little convoluted too. This is expansion but not upward compression. Upward compression is isolated quieter signals, compressed them, and then amplifies that compressed signal. The best way to understand it is to look at the manual for the Waves MV2 - they have a good illustration of it. SageAudio.com

[@shivjayvolvloikar]

@@sageaudio so.. If we use gate to expand first and then what if we compress with the compressor..?

[@shivjayvolvloikar]

Also sir... What if I do the same thing.... That is (1:2) :1 in compressor.... Not in gate *in ozone dynamic 5*

Muito bom, você tem o link para download dos plugins! Obrigado 👉🙏🙌🎸

Obrigado por comentar! Não tenho links para esses plug-ins, infelizmente. Thanks for commenting! I don't have links to these plugins, unfortunately. SageAudio.com

[@ompatil5833]

Man, i want to do mid side on vocals. But the prblm is they are recorded in mono. How on earth is it possible to do mid side??

[@sageaudio]

You can! Duplicate the mono vocal, and invert the phase of either the right or left channel in the duplicated track (you can typically do this with a utility plugin, like Gain in Logic Pro X). The original track is your mid, the one with the phase inverted channel will be your side. SageAudio.com

[@johnromanos6957]

nice tips sage as always, but one should point out that the more a signal is split and then re assembled the more detrimental it is for the signal. i see that m/s and multiband processing is wayyy too overused in todays engineering probably because of poor production choices and audio fundamentals understanding from producers/mixers. m/s is rarely used here and if it can be avoided, it will be

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching John! This can be true if the summing isn't correct - you'll get phase cancellation for sure. I'll have to do some tests and see if any of these plugins sum the signal in a way that causes these issues! SageAudio.com

[@lergbebeatz8169]

Oh

[@sageaudio]

Thanks for watching Lergbe! SageAudio.com

[@javiervergara5695]

cutting low-end in the sides will increase the width of the song but also introduce phase problems in those frequencies and the song will feel weak and much less impactful. I do not recomend doing that. If you're processing the low end then make sure you're doing it in stereo, not m/s.

[@RainCityMusic07]

Its so weird I keep hearing everyone saying to compress the sides more than the mids to create stereo width and that makes 0 sense to me.

[@sageaudio]

Hmm yeah that's weird. Maybe they mean, compress and then use make up gain to bring up the quieter details of the side image. Who knows!

[@RainCityMusic07]

@@sageaudio afrer going over it again I think thats what they did they just didnt explain it well. Sadly today using span I found out I totally over did it on my sides lol newbie to mixing and went a little too crazy not thinking the warning of overdoing it were that real 😅
