I have a session that was recorded with MS mic configuration. Is there a way to configure the MS channels in Cubase? Logic has a plugin for that. Do I have to reach out for a third party plugin?
You can do it by simply using the standard three channel MS - decoding matrix - no need for a plugin…
The UFX can do it also for input and Playback channels…
Unfortunately, I did not record the session. The session was recorded normally and I was given a Logic file with the MS plugin engaged. So the channels were recorded as normal.
Means what? Obviously an MS recording consists of a “mid” and a “side” signal track, which you can decode the usual way, doesn´t matter who recorded it, as long as he knows what he´s doing.
Voxengo has a free MS Plugin, if it is for your PC Rig…
Of course I could just duplicate and phase reverse the side mic but I was wondering if there is something similar to Logic’s plugin. Even if it’s a third party one. This project is going to go to multiple people and many of them may not be using Cubase. That’s why things are a bit complicated.
One more reason IMHO to create a matrix: note MID / SIDE levels and send with the project. settings can be restored by everyone, eithout having to deal with different decoder plugin settings…
Anyway here´s the Voxengo Plugin - it´s for Mac (AU) also…
