I'd like to split a stereo signal in the following way:
- (1) only signal of left channel
- (2) any signal that is on both channels = mid content
- (3) only right channel
example for a mono sound:
signal is panned hard left - there is only sound in (1)
signal is panned 50% to the left - there is sound from (1) and (2)
signal is mono content left in the center - there is only sound in (2)
I wonder if this is possible for the mid channel.
What comes to mind is to use utility and make the spread zero.
However, if I take a signal that is hard panned to the left, it just takes the sum of both left and right and I still can hear the signal as mono in the center, even if this is per definition no mid-content at all.
Any ideas? I tried around with phase cancelation but didn't come to a solution yet.
This has a real world idea behind it, so no mind game at all.
