Hi,
Can someone explain exactly what happens if recording two mics as "Stereo" on the mixer, compared to two mics defined as mono, using the pan function etc.? In other words, when people describe XY, etc., I assume they are saying to define both mics as mono right? What does the mixer add then when defining as stereo, in same XY?

I want good vocal recordings.

Thanks!

here is the first thing that came up on google with
xy mic

it is a physical configuration of two identical mics
works with directional mics
update

there are other techniques for omni-directional mics

the outputs are recorded on two mono tracks
or
sent straight to a stereo output

a stereo output is two single(mono) audio outputs
one dedicated to left
and the other dedicated to right

one of many Vocal mic techniques
