What it does is: It doesn't do AGC on LEFT and RIGHT, but on L+R and L-R - the sum and difference signals. This makes the stereo signal very constant - and probably way too strong for most purposes, so I've added a few sliders to tame it down a bit afterwards.
Hint: Matrix AGC without taming down the stereo tends to increase multipath distortion problems, if you're going to try this out, enable the Stokkemask filter to compensate for that. And tame the stereo down a bit, otherwise it's really too much.
Hint 2: You should probably disable Stereo Boost when you use this.
Explanation of new sliders etc:
- "Matrix mode (L+R / L-R)" turns the new feature on (and the standard AGC off!)
The output contains nearly the same amount of audio in L+R and L-R, which means that there's an extreme amount of stereo present.
- "Reduce stereo" reduces the stereo effect by reducing the L-R component, afterwards
This may cause a reduction in stereo compared to the input signal. Output is VERY constant in stereo level, but it might not always be what you want.
- "L+R to L-R channel mix" - In the measurement, add a portion of the L+R channel to the L-R channel. This reduces the amount of stereo increment if there's a big difference between L+R and L-R.
- "Max instead of Mix" - Instead of adding a portion of L+R to L-R, use the maximum of a portion of L+R and L-R. This reduces the maximum stereo increment.
