Are people really being asked to pay 25% more for a black paint job and no performance improvements at all? A "collector's" edition of Neumann's discount mic? An April fools prank? Or a new marketing manager at Neumann USA with huge balls and no shame?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to record a synth track in mono? I have the stereo out of the synth in question going into a stereo channel on the mixer, then in my A/D box. Recording a mono track (I use Cubase VST/32 for PC) means having the right channel ignored with a stereo input, so what's the correct way to proceed?

No, this isn't about when you got taken out of commission after kissing that cute girl in high school. I'm wondering whether anyone is working on mono regularly. Leave it to da Bear to be weird enough to go from two tracks to one when lots of folks are going to 5.1 tracks (not technically correct, I know). But let me run through my delusional thoughts.
