Mono and Stereo Operation
Metal Amp Room is designed to be a MONO-TO-
STEREO plug-in. One guitar input, two mic outputs.
For best results, and if possible, insert the plug-in as
mono-to-stereo or a stereo. If it has been in-
serted as a stereo plug-in, it will sum the two inputs
(left and right) before processing the audio.
Using Pan and Balance
Be careful when you use the balance control of the
stereo track. If you for instance have a great stereo
sound using both the left and right mic, and then
balances the track using the balance control in your
host, you will change the sound of the output. For
instance, if you want the output from Metal Amp
Room to be fully panned to the right, set the Stereo
Width control to MONO before you balance it to a
side. Rule of thumb is that if your balance the stereo
track half way to one side, the Stereo Width control
should be set half way between MONO and STEREO.
If you balance the stereo output using the mixer in your
DAW, some stereo information will get lost. Use the
Stereo Width control to compensate for that. If you
balance the track fully towards one side, set Stereo
Width = MONO. If you balance the track halfway to-
wards one side, set Stereo Width half-way between
STEREO and MONO.
Example Settings
One Mic
Mic Balance=0 (LEFT)
Stereo Width=anything
Only the left mic is selected, and since we only have
one source (the left mic) the Stereo Width knob
won’t do anything and we will have the same output
in both the left and right channel.
Both Mics, Mono Output
Mic Balance=0.5 (MIDDLE)
Stereo Width=0 (MONO)
With the Mic Balance in the middle, we have an
equal amount of both mics, and since the Stereo
Width is MONO, both the left and the right channel
will sound the same. Both channels will have 50%
of the left mic and 50% of the right mic.
Full Separation
Mic Balance=0.5 (MIDDLE)
Stereo Width=1 (STEREO)
We’re in full stereo and equal amount of both mics.
The left mic (MIC ONE) will only be heard in the
left channel, and the right mic (MIC TWO) in the
right channel.
Half and Half
Mic Balance = 0.5 (MIDDLE)
Stereo Width = 0.5 (halfway between STEREO and
MONO)
Equal amount of both mics, but since the Stereo
Width control isn’t fully in stereo, we will have
some bleed between the two channels. The left
channel will contain about 75% of the left mic and
25% of the right mic, and vice versa with the right
channel.
