Re: recording vocals in mono or stereo?
Quote:
A stereo signal is made up of two independent audio channels that are blended to create the illusion of spatial direction. Stereo tracks contain two separate independent audio files. If you are rcording vocals with a single microphone, you only have one audio source and can only record one audio file, thus should be recording to a mono track. If you were using two microphones to record the vocals, you would have two audio sources, and could use a stereo track if you wanted to. Typically, vocals are recorded in mono, and then panned into the stereo spectrum appropriately during the mixing process. Quote:
Understand?
