Re: mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
Quote:
Depends what you’re trying to achieve. Typically, I have a stereo vocal buss that ALL vocals are sent to. So the lead vocal may be mono, but it’s routed to a stereo aux because I’m also sending backing vocals which are panned in the stereo field and I typically want some compression on the entire stack as a whole.

Re: mono track to a mono or stereo buss?
If you're talking about routing busses to fx, then you can use either really. I tend to use stereo nowadays but when I had more limited firepower I used to use mono busses and then use a "mono->stereo" plug-in for reverbs etc. Some older/cheaper reverbs tend to sum the stereo signal together before applying the effect (in which case there's not much point using a stereo bus), but a lot nowadays actually make use of the stereo input, thank goodness.
But you can also route the vocal to a bus for processing, e.g. I tend to like to keep the Melodyne on the audio track, and then use a bus to monitor the vocal and apply processing etc on the bus channel, which also means you can duplicate the bus and apply different effects at different points of the song for instance. Logic dictates that a mono signal would only really require a mono bus in this case (as you can still instantiate a mono-stereo plug-in if necessary). If you're using a bus to e.g. sum backing vocals together then it makes sense to use a stereo bus. I tend to think of busses used for fx as "auxes" like they used to be called on real boards, but that's because I'm a billion years old. Apologies if this is teaching grandmother to suck eggs. |

That's why it's great that there are multiple ways to achieve the same result; everybody has different needs and workflows.

Re: mono -> stereo. How to do it in PT?
Another option would be to solo the mono and bounce offline.
You can re-import at the end to a new track. You used be be able to do Export Selected .( Cmd + Shift + K ) but that's been retired I think. Do you want it to sound like a stereo track? Because there are several techniques to turn a mono track into a stereo track (comb filtering, spatial processing, etc.). |
