CTC—Speaker Angle eld and slider: Drag to set an angle that matches the physical angle of
your stereo speakers, in relation to the listening position.
Note: This parameter is available only when the Speaker CTC compensation mode is chosen.
Use multiple Binaural Panners on several channels
1 Turn o the integrated conditioning.
2 Route the output of all binaurally panned signals to an aux channel.
3 Insert a Binaural Post-Processing plug-in into the aux channel.
4 Apply diuse-eld compensation to all Binaural Panner outputs at once.
Using multiple Binaural Panners on several channels is simpler to manage than using
a single Binaural Panner on each channel; it also sounds better and reduces computer
processing requirements.
Direction Mixer
Direction Mixer overview
You can use Direction Mixer to decode middle and side audio recordings or to spread the stereo
base of a left/right recording and determine its pan position.
Direction Mixer works with any type of stereo recording, regardless of the miking technique
used. For information about the most common stereo miking techniques—AB, XY, and MS—see
Stereo miking techniques on page 143.
Direction Mixer parameters
•
Input buttons: Click to set the input signal type. Click the LR button if the input signal is a
standard left/right signal, and click the MS button if the signal is middle and side encoded.
•
Spread slider and eld: Drag to determine the spread of the stereo base in LR input signals or to
set the side signal level in MS input signals. Spread parameter behavior changes when fed LR
or MS signals. These dierences are outlined below:
When you are working with LR signals:
•
At a neutral value of 1, the left side of the signal is positioned precisely to the left and the
right side precisely to the right. As you decrease the Spread value, the two sides move
toward the center of the stereo image.
•
A value of 0 produces a summed mono signal—both sides of the input signal are routed to
the two outputs at the same level. At values greater than 1, the stereo base is extended out
to an imaginary point beyond the spatial limits of the speakers.
