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.

How can i listen my mix trough MONO? :roll:

Just wondering if there is any reason to record in stereo if I'm then combining track with other mics and mixing down to mono.

I'm recording acoustic jazz bass with 2-3 mics and then mixing into a mono channel to use pan and use in a mix. Is there any difference in fullness of sound to mix stereo into mono vs just combining a few mono mic tracks?

Thanks!

Hello:

I am doing some recording with a 4 track handheld recorder (Zoom H4n). It creates two stereo wav files (Mic L-R and Instrument L-R). Once I import the files into two stereo tracks in Cubase 4, I would like to split the stereo files into 4 separate tracks.

Is there an easy way of doing this? Thanks!

Hi guys, what do you normally do for this? It seems that in all my mixes, even if I pan something 100% to the right, it doesn't sound like it is way over there. Then I listen to a professional song and they just have such a brilliant space that I can't seem to achieve.

Vocals?
Electric Guitar?
Bass? (I imagine yes for this one)
Acoustic Guitar?

Hello,

I have Cubase LE4, which strangely does not have a mono control. I am eyeing a replacement preamp to add to my monitoring that has a built in mono switch. Will this solve my problem?

Hi, I am just starting with all this recording business.

When I record vocals, I am assuming that I should record in Stereo.
But when I record a guitar, should I record in Mono. I mean, should I set my software to receive a mono signal? So If I want stereo guitar, I could either make a copy of the mono track and pan hard, or overdub?

I want to record electric guitar with two mics on two speakers of one cabinet. I could put this on a stereo track, or two mono tracks, but cannot recognize all the factors involved in the decision.

We are reconfiguring our pa system at church. Equipment:
Soundcraft Spirit E12 Series
QSR rmx2450 amp
Older pair of Bose 802 Speakers with controller.

Trying to get both R/L main mix outs into one side of amp inputs. Making room to run monitor sig through other side of amp.
