I'm definately a beginner in the world of recording, and I just wanted to know
what exactly "stereo" recording was. I had an idea that "stereo" meant recording two tracks for every sound and having each track sound out of either the left or right side. Is this correct? AND does this apply to all instruments and sounds? THANX. |

Yes stereo is 2 tracks. Most folks record in mono and then pan stuff around. I always record in stereo, there are slight differences in the sounds that some electronic music devices make left to right. Also when using rotory, flange, and simular effects, stereo recording comes in handy.
