I was wondering exactly the same thing.

Dex Games Hi Dex, good question. The only things that would change are that you would be using two outputs instead of one for each send, and of course you would have a pan pot on each send to pan the audio. The reason I chose mono is mainly habit, my desk only has one stereo aux and the hearback system we use only has one stereo send, although it can be configured to have multiple stereo sends, basically no real reason of note for using mono sends instead of stereo other than the limitations of the hardware I use, thus creating the habit of mono sends. Stereo sends can be very useful not only for the more pleasant listening experience but like with mixing it can free up space in the stereo field allowing you to send a clearer mix to the musician, not having everything in the one place. The only thing to take note of is that some musicians record with one hear of the headphones off their ear, so they can get a feel for their instrument in the room (double bass, violin etc, pitching notes through headphones can be harder than just listening to the instrument itself) in these cases hard panning auxes can create a problem in that depending on which side of headphones is on their ear they may be hearing a different mix!

Hi Steve, I think it really depends, on genre and budget. For Jazz I mix albums within one project because usually you are looking for a uniform tone. For rock and folk etc it is usually when the budget is tight and I have a lot of work to get through in a short space of time. Otherwise I like to treat each song as an individual entity and make it the best it can be. Its surprising how an album with still sound consistent when the tracks are mixed separately and without consideration for the other songs on the album.

Ok thank you 🙏

The click is set as the drummer requested it. It depends on what your used to, the type of song and groove your playing, there is no one setting of meter that is correct for every session. In this case the click is clearly marking the down beat on the one and giving the drummer an indication if they are drifting at any point. The band are swinging the groove but the drums are not, he is playing it straight and wanted a click that would stop him from pulling against the groove like the bass is doing.

@@ivanjackman wrong.As a pro classically trained musician I can tell you that the click speed is useless.Whatever the drummer " requested" is useless.

@@allIhaveISMusic1 I just checked with my friend, whom is a professional classically trained drummer and he agrees with you! just goes to show, we're all still learning

@@ivanjackman nice videos anyway, well done.
