You Need To Know About Both Summing Options!

There are two types of 'summing' we have put in all Goodwood products. Split sum and stereo sum.
Split sum is better for modulation effects
Stereo sum is better for delay and reverb.
Find out why / how they work in this weeks video!

Fantastic Video Sir

I am a Clean-sounding guy when it comes to sound. Dirty sound drives me bunkers. I noticed you have a very clean sound and wonder if something similar to what you are doing here would work for clean-sounding Slow Blue.

[@GoodwoodAudio]

Slow blues ? It could - totally up to the player though and the sound they are going for... You'd probably just want to back off the wet effects a bit to start.

I admit I am pretty green with all this. I watched a video where the Gentleman from Vertex I believe that is how it is spelled referred to a setup called Active Summing Network and within that Network were he was using Mono( Left) output. Do you know about it? @@GoodwoodAudio

Ok this is something I wanted to ask you about, Grant. I have the MXR stereo chorus that you use in this video. Im using an Empress Buffer+ Stereo. This allows a stereo-to-mono sum. This setup works fine until I run the MXR chorus, in stereo, into it. When summed to mono, it disappears. No chorus effect, just dry guitar sound. Whats the issue?

[@GoodwoodAudio]

Phase cancellation! You need split sum OR just run it in mono if you need to sum the signal (unplug the right output of the MXR when in mono).

[@particlesandpixels]

@@GoodwoodAudio i appreciate all your info! So I was experimenting with stuff, using the same method I had problems with (mxr stereo chorus into empress buffer/summed to mono---chorus effect disappeared). This time, I ran a tc-electronic Mimiq after the chorus then into the empress buffer with a stereo signal path, then summed to mono, and when the mimiq is turned on, the chorus is there!! What is happening and why does it work now??

[@GoodwoodAudio]

@@particlesandpixels I would have to test a bit... but sounds like the doubling is putting everything out of phase enough - after the chorus - so the chorus sound doesn't cancel itself out when summed. Thats what I think... but could be misunderstanding.
