Hey Colin, any reason you don't use a plugin like Ozone?
Also I take it the Wave MS Matrix is just for checking in mono? It doesn't form part of the final chain. |

Firstly I use a combination of plugins and hardware to master, and I don't think Ozone will let me take a signal out of the middle of its chain and run it through my compressor. Secondly my mastering chain isn't set in stone and I sometimes check out different plugins for it.

Nope, the M/S Matrix is part of the final mastering chain. For checking in mono I use another S1, with the width set to zero and rotation at full... when I switch it in I get the whole mix in one speaker only - true mono, not phantom mono like you get with most mono switches.

Good answer I forgot Ozone is totally useless if you have external hardware. Plus it's nice to experiment.
I'm confused about the M/S matrix.. I googled it and got some blurb about mono/stereo and I assumed it put the track the insert was on into mono. I tried it on a mixdown and it totally altered the sound of it but I didn't pay much attention to whether it was stereo. (I only tried it for a couple of seconds) The change was so drastic I wondered what the use was? |

very nice thread.
now we know that it's all about mixing.
i've always thought the overall volume was an important thing, now i know it isn't.
thanks a lot for those clips Colin |
