I asked a question when I first joined this site about files that are mastered (bounced) into & their appropriate uses
what I'm wondering about is the difference & again where & how it would be applied I understand the use of multiple mono & stereo interleaved but have just happened upon mono summed What is mono summed??............anybody Yours questioningly Isaac http://www.qpqproductions.com |

Mono summed is simply the left and right channels summed together into one mono file, while multiple mono produces split stereo (=two mono files that add up to a stereo file when inserted on mono channels panned extreme L & R).
Mono summed is for special uses only - when you sum up two mono files into one on digital domain the result may easily be distorted. BTW : Mastering and Bouncing aren't the same thing. Mastering means the finalizing EQ, dynamics processing etc. applied to a bounced mix. |

I'm not quite sure what your point is? But yeah, mastering engineers don't do mixdowns, they apply mastering processing to the final master that's been created by bouncing the mix from multitrack, desk or whatever. |

Informative
Thankyou Mr. Harbour I don't however do mastering post production. So the bounce-down is as far as I take things & then "a proffesional mastering suite" does the rest After questioning the various ppl that mastered my mixes I found that very few tweeks where needed to get the final result evened out, so I must be doing something right But it's a never ending learning curve L8r Isaac PS. there's a cracking article on EQ that I read on this site.........most educational |
