mono vs stereo
Re: mono vs stereo
I mean, having the same audio data on both channels from the wave file.plaster wrote:what do you mean if left and right channels are the same?codecks wrote:Is there any advantage to keep percussion or other samples in stereo if left and right channel are the same ?
minimal my ass !
Re: mono vs stereo
if the signal on both channels are identical (yes even though the actual sample or whatever might be in stereo), its only function is that it doubles the volume. having that said, I think the volume of the signal behaves differently when panning a stereo sample than a mono sample as the mono sample only has one channel that is panned (same volume all the time). while a stereo one will have it's volume decreased by half if being fully panned in one direction as it is dependant on it's both channels. maybe I'm wrong... never really thought about it until now.plaster wrote:what do you mean if left and right channels are the same?codecks wrote:Is there any advantage to keep percussion or other samples in stereo if left and right channel are the same ?

ur right actually, but don't you get the same thing when using two mono to create fake stereo?fredrik_h wrote:while a stereo one will have it's volume decreased by half if being fully panned in one direction as it is dependant on it's both channels. maybe I'm wrong... never really thought about it until now.
Drop the idea of becoming someone else, because you are already a masterpiece.

a bit of confusion is always good
um, i wouldn't do that to start with...i thought we were discusing if percusion is okay to go mono instead of stereo. damn man, maybe i'm just too tired after the bbq.

How on earth are you going to pan a sound that only exists out of one channel ?BOKAL RECORDS wrote:you can easyly pan a mono sample, realy no need to have stereo samples of percussion sounds
You'll need 2 channels to create an unbalanced left - right effect.
About storing the percussion wav/aif files as mono is actually something i didn't think about doing.
Really saves alot i guess.
