Dialog Bus in a 5.1 Mix - Mono, 5.0, 5.1?

[ryst]

Hello everyone,

I read on these forums that some people just have a mono dialog bus in their 5.1 mixes. I've also read where other people have a 5.0 or 5.1 dialog bus.

I assume if you're routing your dialog to a mono dialog bus that all your verbs are mono too? I generally route all my dialog verbs to the dialog bus.

Is there an advantage to having a mono dialog bus as opposed to a 5.0/5.1 bus? Or is it just personal preference?

Thanks!
