So you can process the mid and side seperately but you cant isolate them as they are recombined to stereo before the output of the plugin. I believe this is the way the real ones work but I've never used one. The lateral and vertical were the grooves in the record weren't they?
I will have to take some material and analyze what is going on. I understand what you're saying, but I'm not able to use it to my advantage yet. Not quite the effect I had in mind, whenever I try to tune things with L/V unlink settings.

If I do not input any side info (0 input on R channel) (0 output gain on R channel), what is being combined into the final stereo out? There is no mid info being input into the compressor... why would it blend mid in with side, if it isn't being fed in the 1st place?

This may have been answered already, and I'm only confusing myself

-Yes, I do think lat refers to width of groove, vert the height.
FWIW, I am not trying this for a master buss effect. It's experminetal stuff.

(RTFM is one thing, but I mainly learn from my ears, BTW
