Re: Mixing in Mono

I have heard this on one to many occasions, Mix everything in Mono.
So, I have started doing so.
With that said, my ears are starting to confuse my brain because I am noticing distinct differences in my mix.
The problem I am having is that the samples I am using (which are fairly high quality)are sounding different than what my ears are discerning.ie I am banking all channels to one group and putting that one group on mono. I am getting separate instruments (snare,cymbals,etc) that are seemingly panned hard to a certain direction. Left,which is weird because they are in Mono.
Upon listening to a bounce of a new piece I started hearing everything on my left side speakers. I did a hard pan on my speakers and found my left side was much much higher than my right side, even though...I could still hear sounds out of my right.
I went back in to see if by mistake I may have had a specific pan setting on a individual channel but came up clean.
Is this just an adjustment that I will have to make because I am mixing in Mono and/or will the mix adjust once putting the stereo field on?

I don't know or have an explanation for what happened in your project... But you can you use Track Control from DMG Audio (it's free) on your master to collapse your mix into mono by turning the width to 0%.
I set my levels, EQ, and check phase in mono while listening at low volume like some other folks are doing on here. I feel that it has helped me crank out better mixes.
