Help with Mono

[Spaztic]

How do you "mix in mono" w/ AA. I was given the suggestion to make sure I have a good mix. I don't know what i am doing!!!

Pan everything to the center, now you are in mono. I don't use that program but if you look in the manual, you might find a mono button that you could push to quickly check the mix in mono.

Unfortunately there's no mono button/switch that you can flip on and off quickly.

You could do as Farview mentioned with panning or if you're in edit view you can go to device properties and tick the checkbox that says mono.

Instead of mixing everything center, you can do a mixdown to a mono file. That way you don't have to remember what the panning settings were or return them later on.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a mono button?

Yes.

Say 'yes' everyone.

YES!

When you mix down as mono it makes the entire project one track, so seeing what track frequencies are phasing out will be impossible. I guess you could save your session, then pan all the tracks to the center, check the frequencys, write down your eqs on paper, reload saved session make changes, save, repeat.......that still sucks.....AA needs a mono button.....

Hm? What's the difference between a mono mixdown and stereo mixdown with everything panned center?

It will sound the same, but the stereo mixdown will have a left and right channel.

Both do the same job but mono is far quicker not only on mixdown but if you have lots of tracks in your session it'll take some to reset all to center and then mix.

Audition needs a reset switch for all tracks to go to 0db and all pannings to center.
