Hi.
Suppose I have two microphones and want to record them but A is the mono source and B the difference to Stereo (say L=A+B and R=A-B).
Can I do it in Audacity?
Thank you
Regards.
You can make mid-side recordings in Audacity,
but to provide your audience with a standard stereo recording
you’ll need a plugin that converts mid - side , to left-right , e.g. …
IIRC the “channel-mixer.ny” plugin can decode mid-side into R & L …
It’s “simple” and it can be done with a combination of mixing and inverting …
Going from regular L/R stereo to M/S is easy.
Mix left & right and you have L+R (“mid”).
Invert the right channel and mix and you get L-R (“side”).
If you’re not going to leave it in floating point, you’ll have to reduce the levels by -6dB (50%) to prevent clipping when mixing.
Then if I’ve got the algebra right…
M+S gets the left channel back. (L+R) + (L-R) = 2L
And M-S gets the right channel back. (L+R) - (L-R) = 2R
