So, since playing with & recording the Axe in my DAW, I've noticed that while playing/monitoring, the recorded take would sound like a fraction of what I'd hear when monitoring.
Well — obviously that was because I've been recording in mono, yet, upon playing back a recorded stereo track, it's exactly the sound I hear when monitoring, & perhaps gives me the illusion that it sounds better, however, I'm gonna assume that it all depends on the living space of the track, right?
For instance, if you're double or quad tracking guitars that are to be hard-panned, I suppose there's really no use in recording those takes in stereo, whereas, if you have a single track that is meant to live dead center, what then?
Half of me feels like I'm doing things wrong, while the other half thinks I'm probably overthinking this whole thing...
What do you guys do?
