i've heard a lot of you guys are suggesting to listen mono while mixing for making better sounding mixes. i'm using software stuff in most cases cubase . what i tried is to create a new mono output buss, but then i assign left or right outputs of my soundcard to it sound goes only from left or right speaker. how to make both speakers play mono sound mixed from 50% left and 50% right. the only way i can do this is exporting. but it is a little bit uncomfortable. i'm sure there's a better way of listening mono while mixing. how you are doing this? just want to try this mixing in stereo and checking in mono technique and save some time by avoiding export process :)

I dunno why they came up as links.. but oh well. I hope that helps! Good luck!
 
there's no such button in cubase3sx :(. strange. newer version of soft don't have functons of previous one. thanks for reply anyway
 
Get some sort of plug in that goes to mono abnd slap that on your master out.

ye, thought about some VST plug, but if i knew which ones goes to mono i wouldn't ask ya. maybe you know free one?
 
It's not free, but what I use is a Presonus Central Station. The outputs of my DAW are send to the CS, which has a mono button. Works great and has a bunch of other useful features as well.
 
I use a free one called mgMono. It's only got one button "Mono". Or sometimes I'll just push the mono button on my headphone amp or use the switch on my headphones.
 
...or just pan everything to the center for the mono mix, then pan back out to the stereo field positions.
