Headphones Are Not Stereo (mid side phase trickery)

I have something to think about again. Thanks Dan.

that panning hurts my head. why you do this to me? yes, I'm listening to this with headphones, and it hurts me because it's not binaural and there's nothing on the left that comes from the right and vice versa. OUCH OUCH OUCH. was that the whole point? i want to hear what you have to say, but this hurts. I have sensory overload too. :(

Rabbi!

This video made me realize my iphone has been in mono for a year. Lol

Fantastic, Dan, thanks for sharing!

This is so good for sound design

That delay trick is so delicious. It's surprising you'd leave the sibilance in your vocals when you're such a sound wizard 🪄

Why does he speak like Gordon Ramsey

Well, I i didn't understand most of that, but I'm still glad I watched it

I'm sorry if I'm sounding retarded with my doubt: My audio interface is connected to my speakers with two mono cables. Obviously, I can do panning, but, is there a mid/side able stereo sound when it is transmitted via a mono cable? if not, TRS jacks are the solution? I'm thinking that balanced output is not related to stereo, it is just a way to remove the background noise from the speakers in silent situations, right?

oh no... i just realised i had the mono toggle on my phone for maybe months... i thought my earbuds were bugging out

im too stupid for this stuff

Hi Dan. Have you ever mixed all elements of a track using only the HAAS panning technique, as this takes into account the inclusion of m/s delays to portray a more natural form of panning. Listening back in headphones is a different experience with HAaS because it employs m/s delays just as your presentation illustrates. Would exclusively using HAAS be a better option (?) & when doing this, the pan controls are left at the center posiition. I wonder why HAAS is ignored by most people? Cheers!

That's why I create the space while individually working on instruments, not on master

The most beautiful imaging tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks Mr. Worrall.

Yes, stereo is not just two channels. Stereophonia: στερεός (dimensional) φωνή (sound). Greek language.

Oh, this is a fantastic bit of info! I am one of those folks that still does care greatly about mono compatibility. I am curious if you have taken a look / listen to David Bowie's Blackstar album. I was utterly gobsmacked by how very little changed at all when I switched between stereo and mono.

Thanks for all the brilliant work you are doing
