| ok i just stumbled across something lastnight.. which has probably been making my music suck for years now.I normally never take samples from other tracks but i normally just use samples from sample cd's etc...i was in the mood to try and make some house so i sampled a few sounds from a few pro tracks... (snare, kick, shaker etc.)Now i always thought percussion and stuff could just be mono..I loaded the samples into Battery and played them from a Stereo track instead of mono on accident..and WOW...a HUGE difference...they seemed to fill up the whole spectrum kind of.instead of sounding right down the middle. So does this mean that the tracks i got them from went through some special process? like doubling tracks or anything?Stereo vs. mono has always confused me a wee bit but i do know that from now on im always using stereo samples....can anyone maybe explain more? thanks! |

| even the kicks/snare etc. on technotranceessentials seem boring as hell after listening to the ones i got from other tracks...should i use a stereo expander maybe on them then save as stereo samples? |

maybe you're just impatient:D
space your paragraphs up more to make them easier to read and chances are people will be less "lazy" and read the whole thing. i have nothing better to do so here...
as far as i know this is the dif:
stereo --- 2 channels (speakers)
mono ----- 1 channel (speaker)
i donno, might be wrong. mono will naturally sound louder though cause it has to put more power out to sound the same as sterea, im assuming.
please, correct me if im wrong....
EDIT:
nope, i was right... look at the magic of google:rolleyes:
| quote: | Stereophonic sound systems have two or more separate audio signal channels where the signals have specific levels and phase relationships to each other. When reproduced through a suitable system there will be an apparent reproduction of the original sound source(s). Stereo can replicate the aural perspective and position of instruments within a band on stage. A listener's proximity to a speaker or speakers of a stereo system will often determine which instruments or tones they will hear. stereophonic - Of or used in a sound-reproduction system that uses two or more separate channels to give a more natural distribution of sound. Dictionary.com Stereo audio uses about twice the bandwidth of mono audio because of the two separate channels, with much of the information duplicated on both channels. MPEG audio can use conservative methods to maintain audio quality but reduce bandwidth by retaining only the audio information perceived as important to the stereo image. Mono or monophonic -
A system where all the audio signals are mixed together and routed through a single audio channel, or
Sound produced by a system in which one or more microphones feed a single signal-processing amplifier whose output is coupled to one or more loudspeakers.
A mono signal output through two or more speakers will still be mono, as the same content or audible information is being produced by each speaker.
monophonic - Having a single melodic line; monodic. Dictionary.com- |
