MID/SIDE REAMPING - OPERATING AT LINE LEVEL
The Decoder features top mounted switches that let you change the
input sensitivity from mic level to line level, thus allowing you to send pre-
re4dB (nominal) M/S tracks from your workstation for Reamping.
This lets you apply M/S techniques to change the stereo image of a track
during mix-down.
From the output of your recorder, send the pre-recorded MID track to
the Decoder input-1 and the SIDE track to input-2a. If you are using two
SIDE sources, patch the second line into input-2b. Be sure that you are
monitoring the return channels from the Decoders outputs to hear the
processed stereo image.
1. Set input level selector switches on top panel to ‘LINE’ position (up).
2. Ensure that the GAIN controls are turned all the way down on the front
panel before proceeding.
3. Engage LINK button on the front panel if only two inputs are being used.
4. Engage 180° button on the front panel if all three inputs are being used
(link off).
5. Start playback on your recorder and slowly increase the GAIN on input-1.
6. Once the signal is audible, begin increasing the GAIN on inputs-2a
and 2b.
7. Change the stereo image by increasing or decreasing the relative
levels of all three inputs.
8. Experiment with Reamping different stereo recordings like overheads
or room mics… there are no rules! Have fun!
