I've also read about the reasons for the mono approach but have never understood it. We hear in stereo -- why confine any sound stage to mono when we've had stereo technology for decades?

And why remix just to hear it in mono? Simply converting a stereo mix to mono destroys all the work done to assign each track to its "place." A place where it has its uniqueness yet cooperates with fellow tracks. It seems that a good sounding mono mix would require a dramatically different approach and work.

Perhaps this is where I should be silent and appear to be ignorant rather than opening my mouth and confirming it. smile
