Center channel from stereo source

FreaQ · Sep 24, 2009, 09:09 PM

Hi!

I have a source that is 2 channels (stereo) that I want to play on 3 channels (left, center, right). I don't want to create a mix of left+right to make a mono center channel. I really want to have sound dedicated to the center channel when it's supposed to be in the center of the sound stage.

It might be very simple. I need some guidance on which plug-in to use and routing it. Or maybe it's not possible with the standard plug-ins in the DSP and need to be programmed.

For now, everything is working great with the KX drivers but want to try something different with my setup.

Thx

This appears to be similar to http://www.hardwareheaven.com/effects-...ml#post1296876 and is a existing issue on Vista(sometimes) and 7. May not be it, but worth looking in to.

If the source is 2 channels then there is no dedicated centre channel. You have to create it. You could try a surround plug-in like prologica for example or mix the channels and EQ whatever you want to hear from the centre channel. Otherwise, you're somewhat limited since the source is only stereo.

Actually, I'm trying to replicate a signal processor like Gavotte from Fosgate or ESP-3 from Audio Control for the center channel.

There is a good document explaining all this here: Install a Center Channel
The part of interest in this article is the "Signal Processors".

I'll look into the surrounder and prologica. I'm using Xp so not a issue for me...

Thx
