This is kind of unrelated, but hey, why not ask anyway? When I record a vocal track in mono, I will sometimes want to insert a stereo effect (chorus, stereo ping pong decay, in-line reverb, etc.). In order to do this, I need to first change the track up in the Arrangement View from mono to stereo, or else the insert effects will be in mono. Is this the correct/standard workflow? I'm coming from Logic where I'm accustomed to adding insert stereo effects as "mono-to-stereo" format.
Yes. That’s correct. If you are adding a stereo effect to a mono track, your effect will be mono. You simply change it to a stereo track. A better way is to add your stereo effect to a bus and send your source to that bus. You will have better control over the effect level.
There is a difference between using 2 of the same mics to get a stereo sound/spread vs 2 different mics on the same source to get different coloration. I assume the latter would be better off recorded to two mono tracks, yes?
if i record stereo: example a guitar with 2 mics. If i record the 2 tracks in stereo : play twice the same partition of guit in stereo : should i expect some phase issue. It happens to me the other day.
I noticed that when I set the track to 3.0 when recording vocals, there seems to be quite a bit less latency and the vocals are more present in the headphones, which is good in my singers case. But why is this??? Im having trouble recording vocals in mono so I use 3.0
Great, but let's say you processed your mono signal and chose "bounce to new track". The signal all of a sudden becomes stereo, sadly in the new S1 v7. What makes it even more upsetting is if you re-convert the signal back to mono, now there are dramatic volume issues to deal with. PreSonus broke S1 in this regard, as it always worked intelligently and perfectly. It certainly isn't the case now. Please tell me, and all of the other good folks who paid for v.7 that PreSonus is going to correct this awful bug. The same bug also affect transform to rendered audio on mono sources. Also when you record to an armed mono track. WTH. 2 months+ after paying for a perpetual "subscription", I have not been able to use v7 effectively for mono content creation.. precious days are passing by before the year ends, and I'm no longer eligible for updates. Otherwise, I'd be happy as i have always been in every other version of Studio One since V1. It's beyond bothersome that I must continue to use version 6 despite having paid for version 7 (which updates expire for me in roughly 10 months unless I pay again) Not cool.
I find it works perfect. Hope I can help. When you open audio track you can decide whether it is mono or stereo. If you record in mono and bounce to new track it will stay in mono. You can check it with the phase meter plugin. But if you open a stereo audio track, record with your microphone in a mono signal and add e.g reverb and delay and then bounce it it will be in stereo.
I've always kept bass mono. No low end info on the sides. For guitars I guess it depends on what you're tracking. If it's rock/metal and youre double/quad tracking, keep them mono and pan accordingly
IDK what he's confused about?🤔... ALL mics are MONO🎤 -UNLESS it's a stereo mic. U could either use a Y-Cable & plug it in L&R -But it'd just be 2 tracks of mono because Ur ONLY using ONE MONO MIC!🎙️🙄
Very informative either way you slice it a good refresher!

great video joe, I see that happen often due to the I/O setup with a stereo on input 1 which is the default input when you go to record.

This has been my experience as well :(

Should I record my guitar or bass as mono and then keep it as mono or should I switch to stereo?
