So your approach is that a stereo mix should be built around the possibilty that it might be heard in a mono environment? And that this can be achieved sans compromises with the stereo mix? That is all WAY above my paygrade. My first mixing was at a studio in Atlanta in 1965 when I was 19 and, yep, it was mono but I have not thought of mono mixes in many decades. Too old to go back. smile
