[LAU] an interesting note for jamin users...

hi *! have you ever wondered about the "width" control that jamin offers in each compression band? well, common wisdom has it that for vinyl, it is advisable to reduce the width of low frequencies, so that the grooves won't break, but that's about all i ever knew about it until today... here's a very old article by ambisonics pioneer michael gerzon about "stereo shuffling", which is basically a guide to frequency-dependent width manipulation for fun and profit, with many very inspiring factoids: http://www.audiosignal.co.uk/Resources/Stereo_shuffling_A4.pdf for me, that was quite an eye-opener. if you're bored, check out the other papers in the gerzon archive - besides being a brilliant mathematician, this guy had the gift of explaining really arcane stuff to laymen without resorting to dumbed-down analogies... best, jörn
