HI, I want to make a dance song on Pro Tools le. I'm just having problem in the track set up page. I dont know what instruments should be Mono and which Sterio. I know the difference between Sterio and MonoL but not sure when and where to use Sterio or Mono tracks. Can You Explain which instruments should be Sterio or Mono while recording on Protools? Also Aux and Master Fader should be Sterio Or Mono. All that i know the drums, snares, hihats, Closehats should be sterio to capture the listeners ears am i right?

Bass, guitar, vocals Mono

Synths stereo or mono depends on the sound.

Drums stereo.

What you do is in the mixing process you need to pan the instruments across the stereo field so they sound right to the ear. Some sounds you may want to auto pan back and forth for the effect. Adjusting the level of each inst. will also effect the mix.
