Turn stereo to mono using cakewalk by bandlab Bluetooth#

On occasion I'll use the bluetooth from the ipad to the EV for the tracks but mostly I use a cable. I also have a BlueBoard bluetooth pedal to the ipad for controlling (next song, previous song, start, stop)Īnytune.

Turn stereo to mono using cakewalk by bandlab pro#

I use Anytune Pro for playing the tracks. The tracks are on an Ipad I direct to the EV. I use a Tech 21 FlyRig Guitar Processor direct into the EV. Once or twice i used the Bose S1Pro as a monitor out of the line array. This is important as some of my gigs I don't have a lot of space to spread out.

The line array setup is much cleaner at the gig. Looks like it may also have a little more capability at the mixer. The Stagepas does have a similar 12' woofer. I honestly cant tell you how it compares. The height of the rig really helps project the mids and highs. The sound would get muddy especially the backing tracks. It was a bit too much and required 3-4 trips to the car for everything.įrom there I went to Bose S1 pro with a guitar amp. These two things (suggested by forum members) have significantly improved the quality of my tracks.Īs far as the PA goes, I started with a standard 2 speaker PA with a stereo mix. I also use mp3 gain to assure consistent volume across tracks. Toward that end I make sure to use a limiter and loudness meter in my DAW. I've learned that quality of mix is very important. I started with stereo mix but have evolved to mono mix only. Most of my backing tracks have drums,bass, and at least one chording instrument comping (B3,Rhodes,Guitar,etc) I throw in a little Merle Haggard here and there to keep everything honest. I play instrumental guitar with BIAB backing tracks.Įverything from dinner jazz to Frank Zappa (a slightly different type of dinner jazz). Maybe it doesn't make any difference.I just don't know. While I understand that having a stereo setup with speakers too far apart would be a problem, does having a multi-speaker setup with left and right speaker channels enhance the overall sound in larger settings? Will mono, providing that you have a wide horizontal dispersion, sound just as good? How important is this in a live setting? Up close with my monitors having both channels helps to widen the field, but is this really necessary or preferred in a live setting where the 'audience' is further back from the speakers? With the 'stick' system, it would be mono only.Īll of my BIAB and RB songs use panning to one extent or another. In a two speaker system, I could do a 'hard' pan to the left and right and get a stereo image. Right now, for lack of anything else, I'm looking at Yamaha's their two speaker Stagepas 600BT or their soon to be released 'stick' system, the Stagepas 1K.īut here's where I get confused. My thoughts are that I would go with 'powered' speakers and perhaps those that have built in mixers. While I can adapt most of what I have, speakers are the biggest unknown for me. Lately, I've been thinking about trying the nursing home or small party / benefit circuit.

In other words, I am setup to play in a studio setting not 'out in the real world'. (Another step I usually take is to alter the panning of the toms, as their default pans are too wide for my taste.Over the years, my system has evolved into what I would call a 'studio' system (see sig below). Make sure those two audio tracks' interleaves are set to Mono. I then do the same for the snare: all the snare channels are routed to Output 3/4, then select 'S3/4: Left (mono)' as the source for the snare audio track. Then for the input to the kick track, select 'S1/2: Left (mono)'. Here's what I usually do.route all three kick mikes to Output 1/2 in SD's mixer. More often, it's just kick and snare most people want in mono, retaining the ability to pan toms and overheads.) For the kick and snare audio tracks, choose mono outputs. (I'm assuming you don't want everything mono. Anything you can get right at the source is better than fixing it later. Here, it's best to take care of the mono-izing within Superior Drummer's mixer. However, virtual drums are a special case. If this were a recording of a real kit, then using SONAR's convert-to-mono feature would be the proper approach.
