Last night I had some time to 'experiment' with a setting parameter that I'd not previously noticed. [in a Mastering scenario]
I 'think' it is the Dynamic linking control [?]
Moving the slider from it's default position was rather stunning.
Working with a soundscape type track, the 'spread' in the stereo field was staggering ... interesting ... but over the top.
I ended up trying settings like 10 ... and eventually, I stop at values like 0.5 ... even 0.4
Again ... how dynamic the soundstage presented. When I compared to the 100% Link version, it was night/day ... just a 0.4 setting
brought this specific type of Mix into an animated jungle of dynamic movement.
So my initial question was ... at such a minimal value 0.5 ... should the change be so noticeable ???
I definitely need to test this further ...
Collapsing to MONO didn't reveal any obvious issue ... but it was rather late, so stopped to come back to this fresh.
At this point ... I'm still trying to understand the inner workings of MDW-DRC-2 ...
yeah ... at the setting I use, it definitely enhances the track ... even going for minimal changes ... but have yet to push the boundaries
to anything close to full potential.
All the included PRESETS are either instrument specific, while the few others are not helpful at all.
Wish there were some Mastering presets that would help expose this plugins possibilities.
I did watch the Live Broadcast video out last week ... there was mention of sending out some Presets ... is that gonna happen?
To note, I'm not really a Preset type ... but during the learning process, they can provide some insight ...
more learning to do ...
