Stereo placement

Every band in JustAnother EQ can process the full stereo signal or just Left, Right, Mid or Side. For example, a Side high-shelf boost changes the high end of the side signal without applying the same boost to Mid.

a Mid Bell (M tab on its node, near-white curve) and a Side High Shelf (S tab, amber curve) with their separate curves, plus a Stereo Low Cut on the blue curve; the Side band selected with the channel dropdown open on its card

Choosing a band’s channel

Click the channel selector in the bottom row of the band card, or use the Channel submenu in a band’s right-click menu:

Stereo (the default) processes both channels together.
Left and Right process only that channel.
Mid processes what the two channels have in common (the centre), and Side the difference between them (the width).

On the graph

A band on Left, Right, Mid or Side shows a small L, R, M or S tab beside its node. Each channel has its own colour (Stereo blue, Left teal-green, Right salmon-pink, Mid near-white, Side amber) and its own curve. A Mid cut and a Side boost appear as separate lines.

To work on one channel without disturbing the others, focus it in the header’s Channel Focus bar: new bands are created on that channel, and bands on other channels are dimmed and can’t be grabbed.

Tips

Mirror in a band’s right-click menu builds matching pairs. Mirror a Side boost to create a Mid cut of the same amount at the same frequency. See Context menus and copy/paste.
A band Solo follows the band’s channel, so soloing a Side band plays only the side content in its range.

Notes

On a mono track the selector reads “Mono” and can’t be changed. Every band keeps its stored channel, so a stereo preset loaded and re-saved on a mono track still has its Mid/Side/Left/Right routing when you later load it on a stereo track.
