Gestalt said...nerd? who me....

ludite maybe. and a bit of a hack behind the console. not so long ago i stuffed up the routing on a mixdown and recorded the whole thing in mono.

S'ok - fix it in the mix.

Surely some half-baked muso who owns a kick-arse puter (and therefore thinks he/she is a world class producer) will have magic stoopendous plug-in that will create stereo from mono (yeh right - like Christopher Reeve really
is Superman).
Ha ha - I have an elderly colleague/client that is self infatuated with his atmos recordings of North West birds and also trains. He records with a mono condensor mic and insists on lining up two identical mono tracks, panning one each L/R and marveling at his own creative genius and the improvements with the "fantastic stereo spread and depth"..
Sigh.. despite my many hints/explanations/claims of audio heresy he bangs on about his own stereo genius every time.
Let the fools run about in the field of self loving and mono depth. It's just easier that way.
