Channel Support
TL Space supports a variety of channel formats
depending on your Pro Tools system, including
mono, stereo, quad, and 5.0 channels. The fol-
lowing table outlines channel support in spe-
cific modes.
Stereo processing is available in both summed
stereo and true stereo. Summed stereo processing
uses the traditional reverb technique of sum-
ming the two input channels into a single chan-
nel that is processed by the reverb. The stereo
image of the input is not reproduced in the re-
verb. Instead, the reverb processes the input as if
it is from a single audio source positioned in the
center. An IR used for summed stereo processing
would have a single sound input source and
multiple sound outputs.
True stereo processing processes two separate in-
put signals. This stereo image of the two inputs
is reproduced in the reverb. An IR used for true
stereo requires two sound sources, and hence
the total number of channels in the IR will be
equal to double the number of outputs. True ste-
reo is more CPU and DSP intensive than
summed stereo, consuming twice the resources.
To use true stereo with TL Space on TDM, insert
TL Space in true stereo. Stereo RTAS TL Space au-
tomatically switches between summed and true
stereo modes depending on the IR loaded.
True Stereo at 96 kHz is only available in
TL Space Long.
