A buddy told me to get a 1/4” stereo out to 1/8” mono cable to put into the monitor side and he told me its to listen in “mono” mix.
I said to him why would you do that?
He said are you kidding? You must be new? didnt you hear of the Roland cube
So i said i heard of it but what is the point if everyone listens in stereo
He said not EVERYthing is stereo and mixing in mono can let you hear things you usually cant
So i hooked up the cables and listened to my headphones and it sounds like both channels are the same.
So if I’m monitoring the same thing in both ears , whats the difference than lets just say panning the stuff first center and finally mixing it in stereo after?
Like whats the point of mono cube by Roland?
Also, should i get a 1/4” stereo to 1/8 “ STEREO cable for the headphones monitoring as well, or instead, rather, whicehver, i have high def headphones (Astro a50 and beats solo3, not ideal for mixing but very good for reference to see when people listen on their iPad and iPhone devices)
Thanks for the help
