Standalone: Mid Side decoder? (MS recording)

[wesslan_2049]

Hi!
Anyone know how to do MS-decoding (from a Mid Side microphone recording)?

I have several MS recordings and I would like to use them in Push Standalone.

Yep, just build a simple MS decode rack in Live and transfer it to P3S.
Let me get back with a link to download my rack.

Here you go.
The macro goes from full mono (@0), to only stereo (@127), so you have full control over your width with a single knob.
At 64, you get the mid and sides equally balanced (i.e what you "actually" recorded).

This version of the rack doesn't provide the option to let a non-MS stereo file to pass through unprocessed. If you want to add this option:
- add an empty "dry" chain in the rack
- open the chain editor, set the "dry" chain range to be active between e.g 0 and 1
- move the Mid and Sides chains chain range so they start from e.g 1
When doing so, with the macro at 0 you'll be able to pass through other types of format unprocessed, but going from 1 and up you'll enter the MS decoding process.
This is way handier because you can mix between files format in the same track, but I wanted to provide you with a MS decode only rack.

Here you go.

Wow thanks!

Great stuff - I am super excited and can hardly wait to have a go!!

Obviously, I should have say "from mid only (@0) to sides only (@127)" to be correct.
