M/S processing of a multitrack mix isn't that different from using EQ or dynamics on the same. Normally it shouldn't be necessary - you can achieve the same or a better result by adjusting the mix. But it may just be more convenient, as it can be for EQ or dynamics. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
