Kendrix wrote on Thu, 12 October 2006 09:30 Anyone aware of any metering devices that would display RMS values for each of the three L-C-R components of the mix? It seems this would be useful. Dorroughs ?

I guess I'm thinking about using DSP to derive three levels:
one represents the phantom center image - the signal common to L and R channels.

The other two meters show the L and R components.

All on a common / normalized rms scale.

Im thinking about metering that corresponds to the bars on the charts at the top of this thread.
It seems this would be a useful perspective to have on a mix.

Try an x/y scope with marks at 0, 90 and 45 degrees. Tilt the scope tube so 45 degrees (center) is vertical and it would make more sense.

It would look like a 3-pronged-V. No-Person's land would be the areas in between the lines.

Maybe, with HRTF convolution.

Well shoot, if ya subtract drums and grand pianos that I don't want 10 feet wide, I do this anyway!

i am not teri either, but i play one in a towel factory.  i believe terry's point is if it is too wide, move the microphones.

[Larrchild]

Come to think of it, execpt for strings, I don't want "wide" instruments anyway. I'll do em all mono.

Yeah moving the mics is the solution unless you are mixing your stuff done the "old wide way" or someone else's.

[Tidewater]

I like wide accoustic strings, and drums... and I like the overheads over there ---->

(I only have the one speaker)

over there.

over there.

send the drums send the drums over there.

[Larrchild]

I'm imagining the Triclops

[minister]

it'd be a plug-in EMULATION of the analog Cardinal Points

[Tidewater]

Prototype is available for testing.



... hmm... must be British..

THAT is stinking BEAUTIFUL!

and i LOVE how you put L in the Center!

except there may need to be a version with the 'points' on a cardinal's hat....from Apostlic Head Gear†

[compasspnt]

By the way, I REALLY appreciste the R&D coming in from around here.

All those having made a significant contribution will receive a free plug-in.

Miles gets two.

[Tidewater]

Well, anyone using the system will need two for stereo.

At this time, there is no call for an all-in-one stereo unit.

i guess my olny quibble is 'cardinal points' actually refer to the FOUR principle directions on a compass.....  so....

or, were you thinking napkin folding here....
