MS Encoding/Decoding
MS miking technique or Mid/Side uses a forward-facing
directional mic and a side-facing bi-directional mic.
MS recording offers very good stereo imaging with the added
benefit of excellent mono compatibility. Through the electronic
process of MS Encoding and Decoding, the two mic signals can
be combined to create a stereo signal either before recording or
on playback. The Finalizer offers MS Encoding and Decoding.
- MS Encoding will change a regular Left/Right signal into a
Mid/Side signal.
- The Fine Balance control will allow you to adjust the
relationship between the Mid/Side signals.
- MS Decoding will change a Mid/Side signal into a Left/Right
signal
- The Balance control will allow you to change the relationship
between the Mid/Side signals.
Try lowering the Mid signal by a few dB. This is
what is perceived as an enhancement of the
overall Stereo image.

External Insert
Instead of internal processing, one of the two Insert points may be
set up for external processing. The External Insert may be Analog,
AES/EBU or S/PDIF depending on your Input choice.
Note: Asking for an External Insert is part of a preset. Enabling a
specific External Insert is part of the Global parameters. When an
Analog Insert is specified, the I/O interface levels are stored with
the preset.
If a preset containing an External Insert is called, and no such
thing is available in your current setup, the External Insert is
disabled but shown in the Insert page, until you change the Insert
configuration in the In or Out-page.

Spectral Stereo Image
This feature is only available in Finalizer 96
This function allows you to control the stereo width of your
signal in three independent bands by adding or subtracting stereo
information. Selecting values above 0 (Normal) will enhance the
stereo information in the selected band, while values below 0 will
reduce stereo information.
Use the CURSOR keys to select the desired parameter and dial
the ADJUST wheel to change values.
Note that enhancing the Stereo Image might reduce the overall
level. This can be compensated by increasing the level by 1-3dB
in the Normalizer.
Try enhancing the Stereo Image in the Mid and
High band, while leaving the Low band
untouched. This will widen the vocal and cymbal
area while maintaining the punch from the
bassdrum.
