I must ask here - either it is so basic nobody mentions it, or it is a glar=

you using the exact same EQ and other plugs on both the M and the S? If not=

EQ only the mid or only the side, you will get the phasing anomalies implie=

you are EQing the high end, that could account for the >1600Hz artifacts.

Are you following the basic proicedures this way? I just had to ask as nobo=

yet... With identical plugins on bot channels I simply do not get phase ano=
malies and find
MS excellent - I often use it to process center channel vocals in stereo mu=
sic, as mastering
engineers do, and find it easy to avoid phasing artifacts.
