Mid/Side Processing: What It Is, How to Use It, Mono Compatibility, and more (Patreon)

We made this video based on your requests in the comments.

In this tutorial, we dive into Mid/Side (M/S) processing—a key technique for audio mixing. We’ll explain why mono compatibility matters and debunk the myth about always removing stereo information below 200 Hz. Using examples from our tracks "Illuminate" and "Freedom," you’ll see how to manage bass layers effectively, preserving stereo width without losing impact, and more.
