Groove3 Space Control Explained

Join production guru Larry Holcombe for a deep dive into Space Control, the stereo processing tool from Acustica and Studio DMI in collaboration between DJ/producer Hardwell and audio engineer Luca Pretolesi. In this Space Control video course, you'll learn the function of each parameter, what it does, and how to use it, with many telling audio demonstrations along the way. From sophisticated mid/side processing and balancing to correcting phase issues and ensuring mono-compatibility, Larry covers it all in detail so you'll be ready to start using Space Control with earnest on your very next song. These Space Control videos are designed for new Space Control users.

To begin, Larry gives you a tour of the interface and discusses a bit of the plug-in's history and feature set, before moving to the Master Left section. Here you'll find the analyzer modes, which allow us to visualize the results of our processing, as well as the input gain and preamp section. The Master Right section follows, where you'll see the bypass, output gain, and auto gain features, as well as a demonstration of how to solo the center and side bands.

Next, you'll learn all about the internal controls, where most of the main processing is applied, such as changing the gain structure, generating extra side band information, filtering out superfluous side band information, ensuring mono capability, and more. Larry then covers the bottom bar, which houses the linear and true phase modes, which help to avoid phase distortion and maintain correct stereo width in true phase mode. To finish out the course, Larry demonstrates the plugin action in various scenarios, including creating stereo width from mono sources, fixing out-of-phase tracks, and even generating excitement for a final chorus by automating the stereo width.

In short, with the knowledge learned in this Space Control video course, this plug absolutely could become your "one and done" solution for stereo processing. By the time you're through, you'll be ready to start using it right away on your next mix!
