Mix Monolith. What about panning and Panning Laws?
Is it better to "scan" my tracks in Mono and then pan the tracks? But, with which Panning Law after this? Or to pan "before" scanning? In Mono? Or Stereo?
What is the fact with "real" Stereo-Tracks, e.g. a double played guitar left and right? Or a Horn-Take with Mics that capture also the room and the players left to right, the recording will be in Stereo, do I have to hit the Mono Button then to level it out?
Long Question Short: What is the best way to use Mix Monolith, with Stereo or Mono Files, or Stereo Files pushed to Mono with a dedicated plugin? Or "before Panning"? After it?
Regardless of stereo or mono...all sound is simply noise governed by the spectrum of noise and level-planes. Stereo tracks comprised of dual-mono files should be treated as "double-tracked" elements...in other words, setting both dual-mono tracks -3dB lower than the intended target level-plane means their combined volume will sit on that level-plane (-28LUFS + -28LUFS = -25LUFS).
