Converting mid-side input to ordinary stereo (Stereo Link Mode)
Mid-side stereo format overview
This technique creates a stereo
recording from signals input by a
directional mid mic that captures
sound in the center and a bidi-
rectional side mic that captures
sounds from the left and right.
Using this technique, you can
change the stereo width as you
like by adjusting the side mic
level.
Since this technique can capture
a wide stereo image, it is ideal for
recording wide open spaces with
numerous sound sources, includ-
ing orchestras, live concerts and
soundscapes.
This technique is also extremely effective when you want to
adjust room ambience. Since it offers a high degree of flex-
ibility, it is used not only for studio recording but also for
recording a wide range of situations including rehearsals and
live performances.
