Im wondering when, if at all, should you record tracks in stereo as opposed to recording in mono?

I have been debating about this with myself for a bit and decided to ask the crew here what your opinions are.
This is the path I use for recording VOCALS.

My question for everyone w/ any experience (opinions) When you mix a song in a DAW do you keep the tracks mono or create stereo single tracks? I have been mixing w/ all stereo tracks by creating stereo image wave files. So basically I go through all the tracks of the song make them stereo mixdowns and some light processing.

Stupid question, but want to get clarification. We recently switched to Pro Tools HD. Running through a Midas Legend 3000. How do I easily check my mix in mono?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys I just joined the forums. Right now I'm doing Cubase based recording using a firepod. Recently we bought two M-Audio Tampa preamps for the studio (which btw sound amazing) and they each have a mono S/PDIF digital output.

Are stereo channels considered single channels on a mixing board or is each stereo channel equal to 2 mono channels?
In other words, if a mixer has 40 channels total with 4 of the channels stereo would it be a 36 x 4 or a 32 x 4?

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 :?

So, for some reason I can only record in mono.

How do I fix or get around this problem? Sorry I'm so noob but I getting really frustrated. Thanks for help in advance!

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?
