You can use the Logic Express Imaging plug-ins to extend
the stereo base of a recording, and to alter perceived signal
positions.
These effects enable you to make certain sounds, or the overall mix, seem wider and
more spacious. You can also alter the phase of individual sounds within a mix, to
enhance or suppress particular transients.
The following sections describe the Imaging plug-ins included with Logic Express:
 Direction Mixer on page 91.
 Stereo Spread on page 94.
Direction Mixer
You can use the Direction Mixer plug-in to decode middle and side (MS) audio
recordings (see “What Is MS? on page 93), or to spread the stereo base of a (left/right)
recording, and determine its pan position.
 Input buttons: Use the LR or MS buttons to determine whether the input signal is a
standard left/right signal, or if you’re dealing with an MS encoded (middle and side)
signal.
 Spread slider and field: Determines the spread of the stereo base.
 Direction knob and field: Determines the direction from which the middle of the
recorded stereo signal will emanate from within the mix, or in less complicated
terms, its pan position.
