[0:00] Okay, and then we're gonna add an EQ segment for the mid. So basically, your headphones like, there's like stereo panning and stuff. There's like the mid, the middle section of the stereo panning, which is like, I guess where mono tracks sit and everything, but you have like, you can pan your sound to be here or way out here as far as whatever 100% stereo. So these I want to be more, I want them to be more in the stereo. That's why I kind of panned them [unclear] and right. So all of this mid information which you see right here says mid. I'm going to try to lower some of this mid information. So it just takes up less space in the mids. I was doing this to hear it. I don't want it to be minus eight. And then I'll just copy over that exact Pro-Q 4, copy that to here. This is Pro-Q 4, if you want a free plug-in that does the same thing, check out iZotope, check out Ozone 11 Equalizer, I think it's completely free, and it has the same thing where you pick up a bell, here you go, and you can adjust, I think So then this would be, oh, there you go.

[1:32] Okay, so this is your mids. This is your side EQ. It's actually a little nicer to have them all separated. And then you click here. There's your left and right. Don't know, never use that to be honest. So Ozone 11 EQ totally free and works like a charm. And then it gives you those extra effects such as EQing the side.

[1:52] Then of course you have your Logic stock EQ. However, I don't think you can, I think this is just like the full, oh, processing. Oh, here we go, yeah. So if you wanna process like mid stuff, you could. But it doesn't like, it's not like it's like changing up. Like if you wanted to do a mid processing, then this would all be mid processing right now.

[2:19] You know, that's all that you process. If you wanna do stereo, that's all that you process. You have to have a number of different instances to actually process mid side at the same time.
