Mid/side processing is a versatile mixing and mastering technique that allows you to process the center and side signals of a stereo track separately. When used correctly, mid/side processing has the power to make your tracks sound wider, deeper, and more focused. Lately we have been enjoying using the analog Chandler Ltd. Abbey Road EMI TG12345 Curvebender mastering equalizer in M/S. Perhaps boosting some delicious shimmer at 8khz in the sides. Focusing the vocals in the center boosting 2.8khz while rolling off some lows in the sides with the HPF @ 80hz to focus the bass up the center. The options are endless, it’s all music.
#tbt “Juneau” LP by @michaelbarrowandthetourists Mixed and Mastered by @brianzieske released 2017. I’m reminded of my first big project in UT with this album. After moving to Utah, I started working at Rosewood Studios in Provo, and @michaelbarrowandthetourists took a chance on me to mix and master their album. We worked together at Rosewood and later at @offaxisaudio to bring it to life.
