Heeeeeeeey there folks!
I have read a few posts about checking your mixes in mono and all that but I've never really understood what that means. "Check your mix in mono" .. alright, so today I did check my mix in mono and it sounded crap to my ears. What exactly am I checking and what is the desired result?
Below is a little snippet from a scratch track, excuse the horrible mix... it IS after all just a scratch track and no, Addictive Drums will not be used on the finished product
No bass guitar either.. that would probably make the mono mix even worse! I don't know... anyway, let's look at these two snippets.
Stereo
Mono
So, you heard the stereo and you heard the mono. Is the mono version what you would expect from a mix such as this one? If not, what is the desired result, what am I looking for?
I'm suspecting more people are wondering about this so I think this will be a really rewarding thread! I thank you all ahead of time =) And now, over to you gurus!
