...seem to normalize the track volumes?

I import stereo audio and it asks if I want to convert to two mono tracks. Simple enough - it's going into one audio track. The only thing I notice is it seems to normalize the track volumes taking away individual track dynamics...

Am I doing something wrong or going crazy?

Just curious as to when other mixers start engaging stereo compression in the mix process.

WHat compressor do you use when mixing to stereo?

Do you use a stereo eq on you mix before it goes to 2 track? and if so what do you tend to boost?

a friend of mine tell me, he heard about a masteringengineer from england (the guy who mastered the last robbie williams record) that he never use the stereolink-function on his prismsound-compressor . he says, the music lost liveness & the stereoinformation get distroyed in some way.

Is there anything to be done with stereo fields when mixing down to two tracks?

We prerecorded instrument tracks, played them back during a live church performance, recording the vocals and congregation. Used four small condensers (AT4041's) pointed from the stage in a semi-circle on separate tracks. Lead vocal on a Beyer M500 through a GR-MP2.

I've been picking up old Telefunken solid state modules whenever I can find them for almost free prices on Ebay or the local classified ads. I have picked up some incredbily well constructed and great sounding gear for almost no money. My latest find is a Telefunken ELA E130b, a two channel module that can control the stereo image width of MS or XY signals.
