Stereo or Multi mono Buss compressor
Anyone see any advantages of using a multi mono compressor on a mix buss instead of stereo?

It depends, I mix a good amount of Afro-Cuban stuff which is heavy on toms and other panned percussion so I use multi mono, the same with the limiter and most instrument groups.

Re: Stereo or Multi mono Buss compressor
I was told once that running plug-ins in dual-mono is slightly more efficient than running the stereo versions... which can become noticeable in large sessions with a lot of stereo plug-ins.
Is there any truth to this, particularly with PT 12? Thanks, |

Hi, welcome to the community.
Back in the olden days of TDM that was true, but now you do not need to worry about it.

It can increase width but it can also skew the stereo image.
Like most things, it’s not a one size fits all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Or use a compressor that allows unlinking the sidechains from each other. That way you have a choice of how to go.
