Here's a new Pro Tools Corner issue by our VIP Moderator Brian White from audioMIDI.com.

"Have you ever heard a mix that had elements so wide they sounded as if they were originating from beyond the speakers?

If you have a Pro Tools related question that you would like Brian to take a shot at answering or have any feedback, please post-it in our Mac ProTools Forum or Pc ProTools Forum. Brian will do his best to select the questions that seem to stump the most people.
