Any experience with MS-Stereo in Vegas…
Change FCP to Vegas (below).. I use both systems and there doesn’t
appear to be a way withing FCP.. is there in vegase?
Thanks!——————————————————–
Hi All,I’ve recently looking into something called MS-Stereo, and was hoping someone had some experience with it in FCP. For a short explaination, it’s when you put a figure8 and a caridoid mics one to each channel of your recorder. In post, you play some games by adding and subtracting chanel information to get this really nice (if you have good mics) surround sound. The benefit is, that such a rig is rather small, and you get sound like you can never get with a shotgun.. I’ve been really impressed with what I’ve heard.
Anyway, how exactly you do the magic in post is unknown to me.. I don’t know if the audio has to be stripped, and processed outside of FCP and then brought back in, or if FCP has some facility to do this.
Anyone had experience with this? How did you do it?
Thanks!

For Vegas. Put the mid and side on the timeline. Copy the side track. Now there is the mid and two copies of the side. Invert the phase on one of the side tracks. Pan one side track all the way to the left, the other side track all the way to the right. Assign the side tracks to a buss. Adjust the stereo separation using the buss fader to set the gain of the sides wrt the mid. You may have to change the pan directions if the stereo image is reversed. Algebraically – L = M+S, R = M-S.

One more thing, there is a button on the audio track header to invert the track phase. It is next to the red bullseye.
