Mid and Side Editing

You can edit, process, and monitor audio material in the left/right and in the mid/side domain. Mid/Side editing can be applied on the waveform view and in spectral editing mode. This allows you to do spectral editing only on the mid or on the side channel, for example.

You can switch between left/right and mid/side mode with the LR/MS button at the bottom left of the overview and the main view. The upper track displays the mid signal and the lower track displays the side signal. The overview and main view have independent LR/MS controls. This allows you to display the left/right channels in the overview and the mid/side channels in the main view, for example.

When you render the audio, the channels are automatically encoded back to left/right mode.

The waveform display and the cursor shape indicate whether L/R or M/S mode is activated.

You can apply offline processes like Gain and Level independently on the mid and on the side channel. With the playback tool, you can play back the mid or side channel independently.
