The Raw Mid-Side setting is intended only for use with audio recording applications that have a mid-side stereo
matrix decoder to interpret the recorded tracks as a stereo image.
Manual Decoding and Stereo Width Adjustment
If your digital audio workstation software (DAW) has no mid-side decoder, use these steps to create an accurate
stereo image:
1. Extract the left and right audio signals from the 2-channel Raw Mid-Side file as individual mono tracks.
2. Create 3 blank audio tracks:
First track Use the audio signal (front/cardioid) from the left channel only as a mono
track, panned to the center.
Second track Use the audio signal (side/bidirectional) from the right channel only as a
mono track, panned all the way to the left.
Third track Copy the side/bidirectional signal from the second track. Pan this track all
the way to the right and reverse the phase.
3. Group the side tracks at the same volume level so they can be adjusted simultaneously. Increasing the volume
of the side tracks increases the stereo width, while decreasing their volume narrows the width.
Advanced tip: Using compression with a fast attack setting on the side tracks keeps transients (the first part of a
sound, such as when a drum stick strikes a cymbal) toward the center of the stereo image and allows them to ex
pand within the stereo field as the sound decays.

Wind Noise Reduction
Wind Noise Reduction engages a low-frequency cutoff filter that reduces rumble caused by environmental noise.
Use the included foam windscreen in combination with wind reduction to counteract rumble and plosives (bursts of
air hitting the microphone).
