Flipping the track interleave can cause unexpected behavior in some plugins. You may have to set the track interleave to stereo even if it's a mono recording, if you're putting, say, a chorus effect on the track. To further complicate matters, there's the choice of track interleave setting. Some plugin vendors offer mono-specific versions of their plugins, while the trend in recent years has been toward smart plugins that are able to preserve mono or stereo paths internally. delays and reverbs), while others are inherently mono and always produce a mono output (e.g. Some plugins are inherently stereo and will produce a stereo output regardless of what's going into them (e.g. We need to remember that tracks can routinely switch from stereo to mono and back as they wind their way through the signal chain. This seems to be a common issue, judging by how often topics like this come up in the forum.
But to me sound pretty fine to be honest, the kick is stereo but dead center.įor the guitars, same I'm using a plugin amp sims which most of the times (depending from the effects you use) it goes out in stereo as well, but again to me sounds fine, but I'm not a mixing engineer, I'm just self learner. Regarding the kick, I did the drums in MIDI with a plugin, so they are programmed drums, the plugin is very very good, and it's coming out in stereo, I didn't redirect the MIDI drum parts to different outputs, for simplicity, the drums output is just one Track (I did the mix inside the plugin), so all drum track is in stereo, also the kick.
acoustic guitar, a three mic drum kit setup, M/S etc) just using mono tracks and audio clips will be best.Īctually I managed to put my bass in mono. Note: most times, instruments are mono sources like vocals, so unless you're stereo miking the instrument (e.g. switch the tracks to stereo and back - what did you hear/measure? then set tracks to mono and switch buss between mono and stereo - same hearing and measures (phase scope)? setup your bass and kick through mono source tracks and a single mono buss. a mono pan law in a stereo master field can also be impactful, but you've already addressed any potential phase and level issues by forcing the mono. the center panned stereo phantom image is "essentially the same" as a mono track except that any stereo pan laws in use, phase differences, etc can impact the levels whereas the mono buss/track will enforce a consistent phase and energy level on your mix decisions. I don't understand when people say the bass and kick should be mono, but isn't stereo panned center the freaking same? Here's my mix if someone would like to have a listen. WHat if one wave on the left end is longer that the one on the right? is it bad?Ĭould someone please clarify these points? In my mix in the first (clean) part of the song it goes under 0 on the right bar, so it seems out of phase, what should be done to avoid this? again not pan the guitars 100% R/L?Īlso the waves I see in the imager left and right should not be larger or the same as the one in the middle? or is it ok? Out of phase means the instrument is too much panned left and right and so should be panned more in the mid? Am I wrong? If so, that wouldn't follow anymore the LCR technique correct? I want my guitars to be wide. If it's out of phase, what should I do to the mix? pan the guitars I put 100% left and right more in the middle? like 60/50 % pan? I understand that the -1/0/1 bar on the right should be between 0 and 1, if it goes to -1 it's out of phase. I tried to look at the stereo ozone imager graph on the master bus but it's not clear to me what should it looks like, how it is suppose to look? I used a reference track and also there I can hear the guitars 100% or so panned L/R. So where I have only 2 guitars I panned them 100% right and left, when 3 guitars I put 2 on the sides and one in the mid.
So I have read and followed pretty much the LCR technique, recommended by lot of mixing engineers, so in my mix (instrumental song), I have drums, bass and lots of guitars with clean and distorted parts. There are some things that are not quite clear to me. I downloaded Izotope Ozone Imager (freeware version) and upload it on my Master bus, I was wondering if any of you is using it and would give me some tips. I'm using Cakewalk by Bandlab, I'm now in the phase where I'm trying to understand a few things like Mix balance, stereo width and phase issues.

I'm not such a pro at mixing and I'm still learning, despite this I have recorded and mixed a few songs at home which sounds pretty ok to me.
