hi danny,

can you please explain the difference between real mono and fake mono. when i throw a stereo pair's pan pots on my mixer to the middle, is that real mono?

thx.

Cloneboy . . . interestingly slow attack settings on the kick/snare. Seems like you'd get more of a gating effect that way (mostly attack). Not knocking it or anything -- just different/interesting.

45ms isn't that slow... now 100ms would be pretty slow. I like some good front end transients on the kick so it sticks out. I need to get a Drawmer Powergate something fierce... or the Transient Designer.

It's not mixing so much as adjusting the balance between stereo tracks and potentially processing differently.

It's less work dealing with stems, than trying to raise or lower a vocal out of a two track mix or trying to master separate vocal up and a vocal down mixes.

Well I finally got Adobe Audition to co-operate (it does busses a bit different) and have been running a seperate rhythm stem (drums, bass, rhythm guitar) out thru a buss that has a Mastering Limiter on it (Elephant - Voxengo). I'm starting to hear & see (in the spectrum analyzer) the sonic fingerprint on some of my fave commercial CD references. The ryhthm section sounds more cohesive like they're playing to gether on a stage IMO...still early yet but I think there's somethin to this. Like the way we used to bounce tracks back in the 4/8-track tape days...maybe I have the missing link here to end my digital nightmare - very interesting :cool:
