? |

I don't have any proof for this but my sense is that they don't work very well and people are rather prone to thinking they will magically make their stereo mix sound amazing. I was planning on adding a config option to enable them, defaulted to off. |

May be a good idea for UpmixerA and B - I think LCR works nicely, at least has no/less potential to create nasty side effects?
|
|
Indeed, I've left LCR in there as I think it's fairly unlikely to make things worse. |
|
I just did a project using the LCR Mid/Side Decoder. Wondering wether an option to set L/R vs. C balance would be useful? Because, in this project I feel that L/R suffers more than necessary.
|
|
Perhaps; I wonder how many people are monitoring DoM's output with sufficiently good gear to be able to make a correct decision on balance. I imagine (rightly or wrongly) that 99% of users are making DCPs "blind" and then trying them in cinemas (or not) to find out how they sound. If you are listening through a 5.1 system (or even just L/C/R) then it would make some sense to adjust L/R vs C. Though there is also the perennial question of where we draw the line between making DCPs and being ProTools/Avid/whatever. |
|
I have a friend working in a cinema. He is using "Upmixer B" almost daily with very good results. I would say it works really well in 95% of the time. He always QC the DCP:s in the auditorium before screening it for paying customers. |
|
@mhm interesting; thanks for the feedback... it's nice to know that somebody is happy with it :) |

'Perhaps; I wonder how many people are monitoring DoM's output with sufficiently good gear to be able to make a correct decision on balance. I imagine (rightly or wrongly) that 99% of users are making DCPs "blind" and then trying them in cinemas (or not) to find out how they sound.' The trouble with the LCR Mid/Side Decoder is that by definition it suggests that it is doing something mathematically 'correct' (as expressed by the formulas explaining their function). Can we assume that the center/side balance follows some 'objektive' value? I won't ride this suggestion to infinity, but, maybe a slider giving some control?
