Raw Mid-Side Output
For increased post-processing flexibility, use the Raw Mid­Side setting. This records signal a 2­channel signal with a stereo im­
age that can be adjusted even after the tracks have been recorded:
Left: Cardioid (front)
Right: Bidirectional (sides)
Use the Raw Mid­Side setting with audio recording applications that have a mid-side stereo matrix decoder. Or use the manual
decoding instructions to adjust the stereo image of the recorded tracks.
Manual Decoding and Stereo Width Adjustment
If your digital audio workstation software (DAW) has no mid-side decoder, use these steps to adjust and manipulate the stereo
image:
1. Extract the left and right audio signals from the 2-channel Raw Mid­Side file as individual mono tracks.
2. Create 3 blank audio tracks:
First track
Second track
Third track
3. Group the right and left side tracks, and set the volume at the same level for simultaneous adjustment. Increasing the
volume of the grouped tracks increases the stereo width, while decreasing their volume narrows the width.

Raw Mid-Side
Use the audio signal (front/cardioid) from the left channel only as a mono track,
panned to the center.
Use the audio signal (side/bidirectional) from the right channel only as a mono
track, panned all the way to the left.
Copy the side/bidirectional signal from the second track. Pan this track all the way
to the right and reverse the phase.
