Uhhggg! Ed, if you are going to give advice, please be more informed than you seem to be. Why would mixing a vocal(s) with one speaker not be recommended?.

I think at this point we should wait for the OP to clarify as to whether one or several persons are being recorded, don't you think?
Also, your question is surprising to me Michael. I guess the best way I can answer it is : for the same reason most cars have 4 wheels not 3.

I think you should stick to DJ'ing.

For the first half of the music industry, everything was mixed with one speaker. If you are mixing a mono source, it won't matter how many speakers you have around the room. They are all going to play the same thing. If you have 90 vocals and pan them up the center, same thing. You don't need 2 speakers. Most mixers I know still mix with 1 speaker for a good percentage of the time. If he is going to use the CD to play in front of an audience, then I would recommend mixing in mono, or very very near mono. You don't want to have half the audience hearing one thing and the other half hearing another.

I think your vile comment is unworthy of a "Moderator". The professional attitude is to wait for the OP's clarification on this matter (re: one speaker monitor or recording one person?) which would validate one of these arguments and not to opt to ridicule other members who don't agree with you. I certainly don't deserve to be spoken in this condescending manner, I don't care who you think you are Mr.

I'm sorry if you don't like my form of moderating you. Maybe instead of jumping into threads with a know it all attitude posting questionable information, you can try a different tact.

You are unbelievable, the only one who displays that attitude is you. And unlike you I've never tried to be disrespectful to anybody.

If you came into my house and said things I didn't agree with, I would argue with you politely, and possibly in my tone or infection you may misunderstand something I say as being a direct piece of harassment, like if I said flippantly that "you're an unproven unknown entity and you smell like cheese" which is something I might say... If you got uppity and took the argument to me even further. I'd yell even louder, then if you got close enough and looked like getting violent. I'd boot you outside.
This isn't my house, or even an actual house, so who cares.
Just chill out and try and come up with witty comebacks with little nuggets of information. Don't get all pissy.

Btw, I don't know anyone here from a bar of soap. And if I wanted to check your mastering chops I wouldn't click a myface link. So for now you remain unproven.

Why don't you shut the f*** up a$$hole? you are the reason why the real masterers run away or don't show up here no more. Sorry everybody but finally after lurkin for sometime I had to say something.

You should most likely apologize for your aggressive tone and un-useful printing of expletives.

Many are Christian and prefer not to have this type of insult in their daily reads.

Many are children and do not need further permission by unknowns to insult.

I do not give you permission to go , on my behalf, and insult others in the name of whatever it is that you are doing this in the name of.

that much "honesty" is unnecessary...

No can we get back to the original question, or has the OP run for the hills?

I'm glad all the "masterers" have run away, that just leaves the Masters and I.

Why don't I shut the up? Arsehole.

don't like it ha? you are just pathetic and make me laughin out loud Laughing

What don't I like?

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 12:33 pm

I'm pathetic and you in your pants laughing?

Does that mean you're apathetic?

Wouldn't that mean, if you're apathetic that I couldn't be pathetic in your eyes. Due to the fact that I'm not "having a capacity to move one to either compassionate or contemptuous pity".

Unless you defecating yourself is "compassionate or contemptuous pity".

I'm getting confused here about how your honesty is supposed to hurt?

Let's get really honest. I am nothing, no one. I'm a fat, smelly unkempt person typing into my computer from afar. Making you soil yourself.

"I'm growing sympathetic about the fact that you're so pathetic and I'll feel contempt for my discontent until you change the content of your epileptic human existence."

Is that what you meant to type? Without errors?
Just trying to figure out if you're annoyed because I epileptics or you're annoyed at yourself for being unhappy about me being alive?

Just want clarification here. I mean we are typing at one another, I'm sure if we were in the same room, many other forms of communication could be used to get the point and feeling across.
So when you use text, you have to be sure the meaning of the words is that which the writer intended.

Or confusion reigns supreme.

Look up nihilist, then annihilation. Then come play.
