In this video, I take a look at why I mix in mono - more specifically what benefits I find it add's, and how it simplifies certain elements of the mixing process for me.

I love when I forget that Im mixing a song in mono, and it sounds BEAUTIFUL to me, and then I realize, and "pop out of mono"! Its awesome!

Thanks Marcus, i had only been referring to mono, thinking that panning in, and volumes might make it pop, but never thought on that level you explain in this, this should be interesting as the many other noodles along the way... Your mixes sound excellent..

I now do about 80% of the production and 100% of the mixing.mastering in mono. The ability to notice frequency masking and tracks hiding each other was also a gamechanger :)

I am going to have to explore this. Why am I only realizing this now? Thanks Marcus

Right on the money. Couple folding down to mono with an Avantone mix cube in the physical realm or using Steven’s nearfield in Slate VSX in the virtual realm can really help you find out what is masking what.

Great explanation! Will try it out 😊

For those that don’t know. You can have a custom keyboard shortcut to switch to mono and back to stereo on the main out.

Maybe I've misunderstood this, but when a hard-panned source is summed to mono don't you lose 3dB (or whatever the pan law defines). If so, how can you set relative levels? Cheers!

@marcushuyskensmusic Жыл бұрын

There certainly is a Pan Law that applies to mono tracks when panned to dead center (-3db for example) That being said, it's not quite the same when the whole entire stereo mix is folded down / summed to mono. Some monitor controllers have a mono button - and many people will use use one smaller midrange mono speaker as an alternate listening source. In this case, I'm simply doing it in the software. Try it out for yourself the next time you need to mix a stack of elements in a mix that are panned out in the stereo field. I personally find that it helps makes things much easier when setting balances. Cheers, M
