Place mics in a 90 degree (bi-directional on top or bottom depending on the sound source. 3. create 3 mono audio tracks, label one of them mid and the other 2 side L and R 4. Pan side L to left and R to right and leave mid centered 5. enable an eq3 on one of the inserts of Side R and flip the phase on the eq 6. then group side l and r 7. Blend in the left and right with the original source |
