Get into all the basics and more advanced ideas of it.
I know what it is and how to basically make it work but WHY does it work? What does the processing do? What are some cool tricks? Where do you like to use it? Where do you hate it? Why isnt it more popular? What works particularly well as far as mic arrangments?
In the previous issue of Tape Op a reviewer mentioned processing the side different than the mid, etc... seemed weird to me. I think this technique is a little weird to a lot of us. Waves Stereo Imager has M/S capabilities. I havent tried it yet but intend to now that I have a figure 8 or two lying around.
Anything I should try in particular?
Spill forth thy knowledge.
