Pairing Gemini and Hermes
Hermes and Gemini Mastering M/S Processor operate in their complete range of func-
tions as stand-alone devices. A pairing of Hermes and Gemini enables lots of further
possibilities.
If the M/S Encoder and Decoder stages of Gemini are each paired with an insert of
Hermes, it is possible to freely choose a position for the M/S Encoder and Decoder
within the processing chain. This way, it is possible (see image below) to place the M/S
Encoder on the third position, an equal- izer on the fourth to use it for separate proces-
sing of the mid and side signal and then use the M/S Decoder stage of the Gemini on
the fifth position to generate an L/R stereo signal. If you now like to additionally use a
compressor, as a further device for M/S processing, you can place it on position 5 and
the M/S Decoder stage would thus move to position 6.
