wish,

It's certainly possible to render to mono (see the image below). I don't know of a setting that forces stereo tracks to play mono, though.

If you use a stereo track (that information is in the Realtrack picker under the 'Stereo' column; Mn = mono, St = stereo), panning to one side might not give the best sound as it will only give the sound of that particular side of the stereo recording.

I reckon the best way to convert to mono would be to pan everything to the centre and then have a stereo lead coming out of your computer that plugs it into a 'stereo to mono' adapter that feeds into your speaker system.

Another possibility would be to use a VST stereo-to-mono plugin on any stereo tracks. I've just done a search in Google and it seems that there are freeware ones around. Since I've never used these, though, I hesitate to recommend any.

Hope this helps,
Noel
