    INTRODUCTION
    INTRODUCTION
    The SCHOEPS Mono Upmix plugins will improve your flexibility when working
    with your mono sources in a mix. You can place sources further back in the
    stereo image by changing the early reflection patterns. You can also boost the
    diffuse sound from the mono signal itself.

    The SCHOEPS Mono Upmix plugin comes in two versions:

    • SCHOEPS Mono Upmix 1to2 - upmix a mono to a stereo signal


    • SCHOEPS Mono Upmix 1to3 - upmix a mono to a LCR signal

    The 1to3 version especially can be very useful in cinematic productions and
    location sound.

    Key Features

    • Widening of spot or dialogue microphone signals


    • Influencing the perceived distance and placement of a mono source
    in a LR or LCR image
    • Boosting the diffuse sound of the mono source itself

    Applications

    • Music recording
    • Film and location sound
    • Post-production
    • Sound design

    For more information, please visit: www.plugin-alliance.com.

    ROUTING

    You can use the plugin either as an insert effect or as a send effect. The 1to2
    version takes one input signal and generates two output signals for L/R. The
    1to3 version takes one input signal and generates three output signals for LCR.
    You can check out our tutorial videos for setting up the Upmix plugin here.

    The behavior of multi channel tracks is dependent on the DAW you are using.
    In order to achieve the best compatibility for the Upmix plugin, both versions
    support different I/O configurations.

    Using Upmix as an insert effect.
    ROUTING Setting up the Upmix plugin as an insert effect is straight forward. Depending
    on your DAW, set up a mono or a multi channel track and insert the Upmix
    plugin. Check out the detailed description for your DAW on how to approach
    this.

    Using the Upmix plugin as an insert effect is the recommended method.

    Using Upmix as a send effect


    If you want to use the Upmix plugin as a send effect, you have to create a
    stereo effect track for 1to2 and a three channel effect track for 1to3.
    The left channel (ch. 1) is always the input signal for both versions of the
    plugin. Make sure that the input signal always goes to the left input of your
    effect track. Use panning or hard routing for this.

    Pro-Tools (AAX)
    The AAX version determines the track I/O configuration by itself when inserting
    the plugin. The 1to2 version can be inserted in mono and stereo tracks.
    The 1to3 version can be inserted in mono and 3 channel tracks.
    In Pro-Tools the recommended way is to always create a mono track for the
    signal you want to upmix. Starting from the insert point on the mono track it
    will be turned into either a 2 or a 3 channel track, depending on the version of
    the Upmix plugin.

    When you use a stereo track, make sure that the input signal is on the first
    input channel (left channel). When using the 1to2 version, the second input
    (right channel) will be ignored by the plugin. For the 1to3 version, the inputs
    for right and center will be ignored.

    Nuendo / Cubase (VST3)


    When using VST3, make sure that the 1to2 version is inserted into a 2 channel
    track and the 1to3 version is inserted into a 3 channel track. Otherwise the
    plugin will not work correctly. This also applies if you want to use the plugin as
    a send effect.
    In Nuendo/Cubase it’s possible to insert the plugin into all kinds of other multi
    channel tracks. However, you must be careful and adjust the plugin I/O routing
    by hand in the routing editor to get the correct routing. To avoid this, the
    recommended method is to use stereo tracks for 1to2 and 3 channel tracks for
    1to3.

    Logic (AU)
    Audio Units have some special limitations when it comes to multi channel
    audio. If you want to use the 1to3 Version of the Upmix plugin you can use
    Reaper. For Ableton Live or Logic Pro X you can only use the 1to2 version of
    the Upmix plugin.

    PARAMETERS
    PARAMETERS The parameters of the Upmix Plugin are easy to understand and overlap
    between the two versions.

    SCHOEPS Mono Upmix 1to2


    • Pan: The panning slider allows to pan the dry mono signal from L to R like
    with a normal stereo panner. Keep in mind that only the dry mono signal
    is panned and not the upmixed signal which is played back in stereo.
    • Depth: The depth control lets you place a mono source further back in
    the stereo image by adding early reflections which are generated based on
    the input signal.
    • Upmix Gain: Controls the amount of gain which is applied to the
    extracted diffuse sound. Increasing it results in a more “wet” signal.
    • Brilliance: The brilliance control boosts the high frequencies in the
    extracted diffuse sound.

    SCHOEPS Mono Upmix 1to3


    Most of the controls for the 1to3 Version are the same as for the 1to2 version.
    Except:
    • Divergence: Divergence gives you control of the balance of the phantom
    center between L/R and the real discrete center channel C. When Diver-
    gence is 0, 100% of the center signal stays in the center speaker. This
    means you have a real center signal and no phantom center. If Diver-
    gence is 1, 100% of the center signals goes to L/R. In this case you no
    longer have a real center signal and instead have a pure phantom center
    between L/R.

    Plugin Alliance Toolbar

    TROUBLESHOOTING
    TROUBLESHOOTING & CHANGELOG
    • VST3: If the output sound isn’t as expected, it could be due to the incor-
    rect routing of the input signal. The left channel is always the main input
    in both versions of the plug-in. Make sure that the mono input signal is
    routed to the left channel. Use panning or direct routing to do this.
