Lately I've been doing my mixes completely in mono, and not converting to stereo until the mono mix sounds good. I do all EQ, effects, and levels in mono first. I notice this helps when trying to make each instrument sit well in the mix. It makes the stereo mix sound a lot more "open" and clear.
But what if you have two tracks, say, a doubled acoustic guitar, and you want to put a slight delay on one of the tracks?
It sounds great in stereo but sounds like crap in mono.
Should I just mute the 2nd (doubled) track while working in mono?
Should I not worry about the crappy comb filtering sound I get in mono and keep it how it is, and ignore it during mono mixing?
How are things like this handled by pros when working in mono? Are delay effects just not used?
