How to mix in stereo... without sucking in mono (part 1)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Part 1: Toeing The Blumlein.
When you pan a mono part left or right you only change the levels feeding the left or right channels, this doesn't introduce any timing or phase differences. Likewise if you record stereo signals with a coincident microphone pair, signals arrive at both microphones at the same time, and in phase. This avoids the worst possible mono compatibility issues, but still doesn't provide perfect mono compatibility. This tutorial by Dan Worrall shows the pitfalls that remain, and looks at a few ways to use panning and effects to create a sense of width, while mostly following Alan Blumlein's original rules and avoiding any timing differences between the channels.

    Thanks, that is very helpful as usual with Dan. Instead of going for the surround / Atmos concept (which is sort of impractical / pointless for music and likely won't really stick anyhow), they should have implemented a seperate channel for a dedicated mono mix. Mono devices like phones could decode the signal and use that channel rather than simply folding the stereo down. Why has nobody ever thought of that?

    I remember hearing the "change the pan law" tip a while ago. I didn't understand it at all so I just remixed my entire arrangement using a different pan law. I didn't hear any difference so I even doubted my hearing and questioned the point to continue mixing if I cannot hear the difference. And now you tell me I was NOT meant to hear any difference, and my hearing was actually superior to those youtube hero wannabes. Not only you keep opening my eyes but you make me notice I'm capable of much more than I thought. But I wonder how many people gave up mixing, thinking they suck after a respected channel gave them a tip which didn't make sense.
