Stereo is everywhere my friends. Err well, almost everywhere. There are still many places in which audio is summed to mono and we all know the dangers of mono summing and what it can do to a mix. While we all should check the mono compatibility of our mixes, if you know ahead of time that the song will be played heavily in a mono setting then why not record in mono?
A very good example of this is a club setting where the music is most often done in mono. While recording some instruments like guitar cabs and vocals in mono is not a problem, what about stereo sources like a drum set? Well in this tutorial we are going to cover just that!
In this tutorial we will cover what techniques work best for a minimal mono drum recording and what mixing techniques will best serve our purposes. So if mono and minimalism are your thing then jump on in! But be warned, the information inside is anything but minimal!
