• Load your favorite DAW;
• Create a new project, and create a stereo audio track;
• Load a stereo clip in that track. A full mix or a sub-mix would be better for the
test we want to do;
• Load an instance of TridA-Pre as an insert in that track. Open the TridA-Pre
window;
• Check that you have the Init preset loaded. You should have TridA-Pre set for
Stereo, with the Stereo Link button On, Input Gain at -60dB, Output Trim at 0dB,
and all EQ settings at their default values (which means that, with these settings,
the influence of TridA-Pre is only by adding some minor harmonic distortion);
• Start the DAW. The stereo clip should sound as you recorded it. You may check
by clicking the Bypass button in the lower toolbar and compare;
• You may try some processing, just to check if TridA-Pre is working. For example,
you may raise the Input Gain to add some saturation (you will not perceive any
change in the overall volume, due to a feature called Autogain Compensation),
and boost the High Shelf by raising the respective fader 3dB (this will give a little
more "air" to the mix, by reinforcing the high frequencies);
• You may also press the Low Pass Filter 15K button, and the High Pass Filter 25Hz
button. This will cut the top highs and the bottom lows;
• Now press Bypass again.You will already be able to notice some differences in
the mix. You probably also noticed that each time you made a change in one
channel it was reflected in the other. This is because we are working in Stereo
mode (the Stereo Mode switch is on the L/R position, and the Stereo Link button
is On);
• We will now work in M/S mode. To do this, we'll click the Stereo Mode button to
toggle it to the M/S position. The Stereo Mode button should automatically turn
Off. The TridA-Pre is now in M/S mode;
• Since no controls have changed, we will not notice any changes in the audio, for
now;
• Let's turn one of the Output Trim knobs to the minimum (-24dB) position. We'll
start with the left, which is now the Mid channel;
• Since we reduced the output of the Mid channel by 24dB, we are now listening to
a very different signal. We almost have no signal in the middle of the spectrum,
and are only left with sound in the edges of the spectrum band (which are
controlled by the Side channel). You may even want to try this with headphones,
which will give you an even better perception;
