Do many/most of you have your DAW set up in Mono and then once you’re finished the track, check it in stereo/adjust/pan/test in mono again etc? Heard a good rule of thumb is to mix in mono from the start :)br

Thanks in advance
I have started doing this recently, it makes a hell of a difference to the quality of my mixes.br

If I mono my old stuff it sounds awful, which means it translates terribly on anything other than headphones or a quality monitoring environment. br

Thanks Jimmy, yeah i realised its gonna sound **** outside of monitor/headphones i just don’t get how to space things out whilst doing the track if u got a mono setting on the master as obviously everything is dead centre? even if i add a stereo imager on synth bus, u can’t hear any diff unless i deactivate mono button on master channel?
I tend to keep it in mono 90% of the time, but I’ll keep doing a bit of referencing in stereo too especially if I’m working on leads FX, where a lot of panning and delay is involved.
How do people make it sound the same in mono as stereo? when u say referencing in stereo, it always sounds different, whereas with pro tracks theres no difference?
