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?

I've a small problem I've been trying to sort out. A mate of mine has a 96i with his pro tools system. When were tracking we only have one mix and can only listen to wat the musician is listening to. This is really annoying especially with a click involved. I've tried to set up a seperate feed out the SPDIF but its a mirror of the 1-2 outs.

Hi i keep hearing about clubs (dance music) mono-ing the music played over their sound systems... i'm wondering what per centage of them do it...
In case anyone is wondering, the theory is that its to do with lisener postion relative to the speakers etc tc etc

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'm running pro tools le, how can I listen to my mix in mono? I've heard people say that you need to make sure it sounds good in mono too, is this correct?

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:

My Objectives:

1. To get an idea of what I have.
2. To get a FAIR price for what I have.
3. To have it be used.
4. To keep it in this country so that others may use it.

You folks seem to be in the know about this stuff. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello again,

I am trying to establish the spread of an instrument in th pan field.

My desk pans from -63 on the left to plus 63 on the right. I guess I am trying to place things in the mix and womdered about this.

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.
