No, your missing the point completely. Youre taking two IDENTICAL tracks and just making sure to put a utility on each with the width set to 0. So you have TWO MONO tracks, you are then panning one all the way to the Left and one all the way to the Right. This i think is what is known as ‘true mono’.
Now by doing this you are achieving a wider sounding loop or kick or whatever it is that your splitting. For some reason it also seems to make whatever it is your splitting come through the mix better and by doing it on say a Kick you will make the ENTIRE mix sound wider, so in a club you will eventually have a very wide sounding stereo mix being broaght down to mono but still sounding wide and spacious.
1. Watch the Breeze and Styles tutorial as they explain it better than me
2. Instead of speculating, or wondering or worrying about theory or what someone has told you, mabey just try it out in one of your tracks and see what happens??
