Yes. When you have to modify a stereo mix, or a stereo signal
that is part of a mix.
Do you claim that such cases don't exist ?
In theory anything that can be done in the L/R domain can be
done as well in the M/S domain and vice versa. But the simple
fact is that some things are much easier in one domain than
in the other.
In particular:
* Anything that affects L and R in an assymetric way (e.g.
modifying only L or R) is easy in L/R and difficult in M/S.
* Anything that affects L and R in a symmetric way (e.g.
modifying stereo width) is much more easily done in M/S.
That remain true even if you have access to the components
of a stereo mix. And certainly if doing the same thing in
L/R would require you panpots to go beyond their range
limits, or be frequency dependent.
Maybe you're not familiar which such techniques. In that
case just stop commenting.
