Stereo or Mono audio track when digitizing a mono record in PT?
Hi everyone, Happy Holidays.
I'm in the middle of digitizing some albums and I've come to my first mono record. I have been going through my digi002r into a stereo audio track in PT, so I tried that with the mono album, but it sounds weird. I then recorded it using a mono track and it sounded a little thin. I assume I'll Bounce to disk using the mono summed option, but which way should I capture the source, or does it not matter. Thank you. Julie |

Julie If I'm doing any treatment to remove surface noise, I capture and process in stereo, then output to mono. It may also be that you are getting phase differences due to mistracking of the stylus when you sum to mono, so try just using one channel from the cartridge. -- Tciao for Now! John. |

Julie Most mono records I've come across have worn unevenly so that one channel is often noisier and more distorted than the other. I record it in stereo, then listen to the result to decide which channel sounds better. I keep that one and eliminate the other. |

You need to have both channels summed to mono. If you record only one channel off a stereo cartridge, what you get will not be as clean as it should be because you're seeing not just the lateral movement but also residual vertical movement. If the tone changes when you switch from stereo to mono, you have a cartridge alignment problem. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
