The TRUTH About Mixing in Mono! Should You Do It?

Описание: Should you mix in mono? Is mixing in mono the secret to a perfect mix? Or is it just a gimmick? In this FL Studio beginner tutorial, I will explain why you should, and why you shouldn't be mixing in mono.
There are many aspects of music production and mixing and mastering are perhaps one of the things most people struggle with. Some people claim that mixing in mono will make everything so much easier, and by simply mixing in mono, you can get a perfectly balanced mix that works everywhere every time. But is it really that simple? Is mixing in mono really the key to a perfect mix?
Of course, it's not that simple. There are pros and cons with everything, and mixing in mono does have some advantages, but there are also some problems related to mixing in mono.
My best advice is to take advantage of the pros and avoid the cons, by constantly checking your mix in mono when mixing. I rarely mix in mono myself, but I do check my mix in mono quite often. Just as you would want to check your mix on both headphones and monitors to make sure that it works well on both. It's all about finding that perfect balance. It's impossible to mix a song so that it sounds great everywhere. The best you can really hope for is a mix that sounds decent on most devices. In other words, a fairly neutral and tonally balanced mix. That should sound decent on most devices.
Note: I have reused some parts from an older video in this video.
