Izotope Rx: Edit stereo width using Midside mode in RX 11
Izotope RxDemo summary
The user demonstrates opening a stereo guitar track in RX 11, switching to the new Midside view, and applying a gain boost specifically to the side channels to increase stereo spread.
Step-by-step
- Open a stereo track in RX 11
- Press Shift + W or go to View > Channel Mode and select Midside
- Select the side channel (bottom track) on its own
- Open the Gain module
- Set the gain boost (e.g., 8dB) and click Render
- Select both channels to listen back to the processed audio
Options
- Toggle between Midside and Left/Right channel modes
- Use the History panel to compare the initial state with the processed audio
Tips
- Use Midside mode specifically for stereo recordings to better visualize mono vs. stereo content
- Boost the side channel to increase the stereo spread of a recording that sounds too mono
Highlights
“it's a new way of seeing stuff basically which is great for stereo recordings”
