    This is absolutely CORRECT.
    I record everything in MONO, mix it in MONO, final step, select your stereo field.
    FINAL step.
    PERIOD.
    You will save a TON of time, use far fewer plugins, etc.
    AND you will have far better mixes and masters.
    p.s., Your final mix SHOULD be your master.
    That's well over 60 years of recording experience talkin', youngsters.

      @@n0limitmk It's very simple.
      In your DAW, you've mixed to mono, now save that mix as your mono mix file.
      Now go back into the mono mix and set your panorama ('pan' pots) to achieve the stereo field that you like.
      Save that mix as your stereo mix file.
      Bonus --- You can create as many different mixes (mono or stereo) as you like, just label 'em correctly when you save 'em.
      Now you can 'call up' different mixes for your client to choose from.

    Instead of using an EQ to carve out the freq, use a sidechain tool like trackspacer to pull out the appropriate freqs while in mono. Much cleaner results.

    tbh i watched this video right before starting a new mix, put the whole project in mono w logic pro's gain plugin & forgot about it... mastered the song in the master track and forgot to deactivate the Gain plugin... I put it back into stereo and it turned out to be one of the best mixes I've done recently

    Edit: Mixing in mono is something I only started doing this year and it's changed so much. I used to have songs that sounded good in stereo and I'd play it on a Google Home speaker, and it would all fall apart. Mixing in mono has fixed that.

    The concept makes good sense, however, making space for my vocals in terms of frequency slotting is pretty much the first thing my music teacher recommended when I started with audio production, so I do this kind of by default. So far, I only mix my own songs, so it is always my own voice that I am dealing with and it starts getting familiar to mix it, so usually, I make an EQ for my vocal that brings out the nice side of a given song (I am fortunate to have a semblance of a range, so it won't always be the same frequencies), and then I make a copy of that EQ which is like a mirror image, wherever I have boosted my vocal, the mirror EQ will have some cuts so that I can slap that EQ onto the instruments. And then have a listen to see if I like it or not of course. Still, I like the idea of listening to the entire mix in mono to spot for problems, and I will try it out for sure. Who knows what other interesting things I might find out that way ;-)

    For anyone wondering why it doesn’t sound any different when he switches from mono to stereo it’s because you’re listening to this video using a cell phone or something like a laptops speakers if you want the full affect and hear the major differences make sure you’re wearing headphones or listening with a stereo speaker set up.

    Hey Devvon, I've been watching your videos for some time now searching for tips and tricks. And I've must say you've helped me along for the road.
    I plan on doing mixing and mastering as a full time job in a few years, I'm currently 21 and I'm hoping I can do it full time by the time I'm 25. Recently whenever I bring friends and local artists to record I can't seem to mix them well. I don't know if its just the recording or I'm doing something wrong with my mix. I've been using waves for some time now and I like the plugins but after using them for a while it's like I can't manage to do a correct mix since I'm always comparing them to studio grade readio ready songs. We do all our recordings in a bedroom studio with barely to none acoustic treatment. Do you have any tips for when your mixes start to sound bad compared to earlier tracks?
