I am getting interested in building a hardware stereo image widener circuit. I have seen a few ideas floating around based on the Middle(M) +Side(S) technique. The basic premise can be summarized into the following equations:
Encoding M and S
Middle = L+R
Side = L-R
Middle Circuit
Translating that into basic op-amp circuits, the Middle signal could be created with a summing amplifier.
Whenever i record, and pan either hard left or hard right. It doesn't sound NEARLY as wide as music i listen to. Even with software synths...Why is this?
I own sm57s and an AKG perception 200, with a firestudio project.
Any help would be great.
I recently did a rough mix of a song called "Propaganda".
It can be found at The Speed of Sound
I'm having difficulty getting the stereo field as large as I would like it. Is this an issue of mixing, or should I let the mastering house deal with it?
The singer will be coming in to lay down vocals tonight. I sang on this version, just as a reference for myself.
