TL Space Channel Format Support

TL Space supports a variety of channel formats depending on your Pro Tools system, including mono, stereo, quad, and 5.0 channels. The following table outlines channel support in specific modes.

True Stereo at 96 kHz is only available in TL Space Long.

Stereo processing is available in both summed stereo and true stereo. Summed stereo processing uses the traditional reverb technique of summing the two input channels into a single channel that is processed by the reverb. The stereo image of the input is not reproduced in the reverb. Instead, the reverb processes the input as if it is from a single audio source positioned in the center. An IR used for summed stereo processing would have a single sound input source and multiple sound outputs.

True stereo processing processes two separate input signals. This stereo image of the two inputs is reproduced in the reverb. An IR used for true stereo requires two sound sources, and hence the total number of channels in the IR will be equal to double the number of outputs. True stereo is more CPU and DSP intensive than summed stereo, consuming twice the resources.

To use true stereo with TL Space on TDM, insert TL Space in true stereo. Stereo RTAS TL Space automatically switches between summed and true stereo modes depending on the IR loaded.

The following table shows TL Space channel formats.
