I recorded a group of people singing a Christmas carol last season. I used 2 mics (L and R). The person that did this with me recommended setting each mic to a stereo channel. What's the advantage of that vs a mono track for each mic?

I just don't get it :?

Hi there,

I would like to know whether there's any difference between recording rap vocals in a stereo track versus recording it in a mono track. I record my rap vocals in mono tracks for no particular reason. Should i be doing it stereo?

Ok, so I am new at this, and I am only in the beginning stages of recording.

Hey guys, noobie here...and noobie question for you.

Should main vocals be stereo or mono in a mix? My voice sounds so much better when it is in stereo...especially with headphones. but when I play the song on speakers, my voice sounds a little hollow. What do you guys suggest?

Is it a problem with my reverb or do I have to make it mono?

How to make mono sounds to stereo ?
I have , A effect name'd "fatting" :

get the original signal to left and get the delay to right.
than use a stereo expand to change the sound width or narrow

I have a guitar rig that I use in various situations. It consists of a Pod Pro with a Lexicon MPX1 in the effects loop. I use this rig in both stereo and mono applications. It is set up for stereo, but I'd like a way to sum the outputs of the Pod for use in mono (into the pwr amp in of a tube combo). I'm hoping for some input on the following options:

Friends,

Pet Sounds was recorded in mono back in 1966. It was released on a CD in 2001.
On this CD, the first half is the original material in mono, digitally mastered.
The second half is all the same tracks but in stereo.

How were they able to turn mono material into stereo ?

Since an acoustic guitar is a single sound source, does recording in stereo sound realistic? I was doing an A/B with my song recorded with 2 mics, and the acoustic version of Dave Matthews' "Gravedigger" in which the guitar sounds great, but seems to be in mono.

hi guys!

for some reasons, i can only record MONO signals. Now i would wanna convert those signals into STEREO. Is it possible that i could get Virtual Stereo? And, do you know what plugin i should use to do that?

Many thanks.

Hi,
I had "bounced" a wav stereo track from Logic 7 Express, and had re-imported it to Logic to work with master effects on it, - but when the clip was imported it was suddenly mono, and my stereo effects were lost.

When i open the file in QT player it is stereo, but it's being converted when importing to Logic.

I hope for a quick answer !
Thanks in advance !
