Ok, So, Dave Pensado has recommended on an ITL episode (I think "More ways to widen your tracks" , but not exactly sure which one) that MONO is DEAD...mix in stereo to keep up with the times!!!
Now, The Recording Revolution newsletter I just received says a valuable lesson is to mix in MONO...that dynamics like EQ and maybe compression can create better results when it comes to real world listening - claiming that most don't listen on Head Phones, and don't listen in the perfect "sweet spots" i.e. computer speakers, cars, home audio, or clubs, were the sweet spot is virtually not there. It is quoted in the article "Rather by the time the left and the right speakers sounds reach your ears, they are collapsed into one big mono mix." Recording Revolution
Dave Pensado is quoted on RR website as taking great much of there great advice. I love you both, not picking sides here!!
Is there an objective logic to this truth or is it totally a matter of a personal (subjective) thing?
