Thanks a bunch man; thanks for watching!

Ha ! Lovely! Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

@@panorama_mastering all da way from 🇨🇦

Thanks mate! Basslane Pro is definitely a killer new bit of kit;

My pleasure! No sweat!

Thank you! Definitely; here's a link to the clipper video -> kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZyXfLiAm9fDY3k.html

WIll do ! Thanks for watching;

Glad it was helpful! My Pleasure!

No worries; my pleasure!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching;

My pleasure and thanks for watching! I'll look into it!

@@panorama_mastering Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching mate; muchly appreciated; adding saturation to the side signal is different to what Basslane is doing; basslane is adding the harmonic information to the sides; but those harmonics are generated from the fundementals of the mid signal;

NO worries; thanks for joining along!

I say it ALL the time!

Going Home, MorningMaxwell Jade Alice!

I 100% understand what you're saying and your not the first to flag this with me; however the verbiage Bob Katz uses literal descriptors of the ballistics in the signal flow; here's some explanations from my notes; Upward Compression; raises the volume of low-level passages/information in a waveform UP; Upward compression is more-so a technique than the inherent processing technology; even though it can be found inside of processors like Leapwing DynOne; 1. Upward compression is achieved by agressive compression in parallel with a dry source; where the aim is to heavily downward compress transients in the parallel channel so that in relation to the decau and sustain of a wave form the transients become weaker; this then gives the user the ability to bring up the low level detail in parallel with an original signal without the need to comprimise the integrity of the peak and transential information of the original dry signal; Upward Expansion; brings high level passages UP in volume; it’s basically the opposite gain action of downward compression; as signal passes the threshold the control voltage is inverted; and boosts rather than attenuates the signal; this is typically represented as fractional or inverse ratios on a parameter set; or the processors are entirely designed as what we know to be expanders; Waves C1 can operate in both these functions; and was first put together commerically in the DBX model 117 decimator. --- Not to be confused with Downward expansion; brings low-level passages or information in a waveform DOWN; when the signal drops BELOW a set threshold the downward expander will pull the gain information DOWN towards the noise floor These are typically reffered to as GATES; but can also be produced by a similar effect of monitoring the difference or delta signal of a downward compressor; Downward expansion we’ll explore in two roles;

@@panorama_mastering right. But, he's wrong. Parallel compression is equivalent to a lower ratio with more makeup. It still lowers the level of loud with respect to average. Upward compression increases the level of quiet with respect to average. They are not the same thing.

Oh; ok; I see what you're saying here; My miss-interpretation of your first comment, sorry!

haha ! no the first person to mention this!

Maybe? Send notes! Happy to to discuss;

@@panorama_mastering I watched on a tv with sound bar and sub and the low end noticeably reduced when plug-ins engaged.

@@scotthstevenson My estimate is that because soundbars are usually not very wide compared to your average stereo speaker pair setup (distance between speakers) you are not profiting by the stereo manipulation as much since with a narrower setup between 2 speakers you get less of an "a ha!" experience or more simply put , a narrower Stereo Imaging. Everything has a price. So when the OP started messing with the bass and started stereoizing it even though it is fully mono compatible I have still never come across a method of doing this without sacrificing something for it to work. In theory you don't but as your observation shows in reality something got lost on the way. So while your subwoofer is playing the same thing , when you give the ear more stereo information after a point you lose perceptual focus of the lows. Its easier to like it when is sounds "huge and impressive" with a big speaker setup with lots of space between them and in a big room Also the fact that he pushed it 8+ db has a price also. In my experience squashed mixes always sound more shallow and more narrow as the effects have no space to move in the dynamic dimension. By no means can I prove what I say on a scientific way and I really hope I won't come across as arrogant . Am just trying to express my thoughts in a way that beginners can follow and more advanced engineers than me won't find ridiculous. Just wanted to share my thought because I found your observation very interesting and tried to come up with a possible explanation. And to the OP, I absolutely loved the video and love the channel. Keep them coming !
