Hey on the section when you said you pan each instrument into its own respective place , other than the mono instruments that stay center do you leave the other instruments in stereo mode when panning. Specifically the keys,synth, hi hats right?
I believe every sound that I applied the panning to was in stereo in this example. This is simply how the files were provided to me, and I didn’t forcibly change them into mono. At 11:22 I explain why I used the Relay plugin on these stereo tracks. Really it’s just a matter of convenience/simplicity for me personally as it allows me to manipulate one pan knob (or slider on this case) instead of two pan knobs (a left and right) for each channel. It is possible to be given or have mono files for some sounds, particularly percussion and hi-hats, and even sometimes instruments. This isn’t an issue. The focus shouldn’t be on what type of file it is, but rather 1) if it should be panned in general and 2) where it should be panned to, relative to everything else in the stereo field. Stereo vs. Mono simply affects HOW you pan it more than anything. Hope this helps 👊🏼
Depends on what you’re listening on, and the volume it’s played back at on your system. I wouldn’t recommend judging on a cell phone speaker at a low volume, as the difference won’t be as clear in that situation. Volume wise there is no difference. Presence wise, which is more important, there are definitely differences. I’d recommend paying attention to the bass / 808 in particular and the vocal synth sound in the BG, as those two seem to have the biggest change between A and B (although there are still changes within the other sounds just to a lesser degree) I’d also suggest paying attention to when it switches from B back to A. That is a more noticeable adjustment for me personally. If I played you the non-gain matched versions of these tracks (which I thought about), the difference would be MASSIVE but I wanted to do this exercise without any volume bias interfering 😉
@@AVDREthank you 🙏🏼 i learned this one the hard way to be fair . There will still be times in the future where I won’t gain match, but in this particular example - it was important 🚀
