mono vs stereo

[codecks]

Is there any advantage to keep percussion or other samples in stereo if left and right channel are the same ?

Put the utility on the master channel and set the width to 0%. There is a preset for it too under the utility effect.

are you serious about the mono percussions... mmm... listen to some of your favorite tracks in headphones other than your own.

i mono them and then pan them.

To keep a kick mono okay.
But other percussion really needs panning though.
No need setting it to mono and then putting it back to stereo in my opinion.

Only things you don't pan can be set to mono (and in my case that aint much).

you can easyly pan a mono sample, realy no need to have stereo samples of percussion sounds

um, why would you convert something as percussion into mono and then pan it stereo..it really doesn't have any sense.
