Topic: M-S setup question

[china_rider]

Just wanted to thank everyone for all the help.  On the one was the first M-S mix I recorded that I am happy with.  I'll be using it much more in the future.

I used 100/+-40 mix.  Not sure if it was because of the *very* small stage (see the pictures forum) or because I was stage lip but it sounds the best combination to me over my headphones and my playback system.

T+ to all in the thread.

PS.  This thread has some great information.  Maybe something to add to the archive?

Three questions:

1) I'm playing around with an Audacity Mid/Side plugin that I've never used before.  I can do M/S -> XY conversion and there is a width adjustment which is nominally 1.0, adjustable from 0 to 2.0.  I'm guessing 1.0 is a 1:1 mix, 0 is "all mid", and 2 is "twice as much side as mid".  Can anyone confirm or deny?

2) I remember seeing a chart somewhere on the internet, here or outside of here I can't remember.  It basically said something like "1:1 = XY 90*", and 1.2 ratio is like Hypers at 110*, etc.  Anyone know where I can find that again?

3) There is a concept called "equivalent stereo width factor", or something like that.  I can't remember the proper term so I can't google it.  The idea is that the spacing and angle of near-coincident convert to a single number of equivalent width... Anyone remember what that's called?

Thanks.
