Put reverb on the splash, and sidechain it to the drop. |

| I guess this is the wrong time to asks a legit question , but is really the only reason people check their mixes in mono is to see if there is any phase cancellation nowadays? |

you know I've always checked my mixes in mono but never have I once heard any obvuious phase cancellation
Only time I think phase cancelation would be really apperant is if you have a large element in your track being stereo widened by delaying either the left or right channel
either way, subs should always be in mono, and mids should be more mono than highs
just my opinion
ps, Ive heard some dnb tracks though where the subs run through some type of phaser and are completly stereo, while all other elements are almost mono. Makes for a really cool effect |

It should be a V. Subs mono. mids wider. highs widest.
Theres another reason too. Low frequencies we physically cannot tell stereo seperation on. Giving it stereo only opens it up to have problems. Making it mono solves them. With the higher frequencies you get more leeway to play with spacial effects. |

Sako and Pagan are right.
You can check for phase cancellation, but the main reason is to see if you image and frequency separation collapses when you mono sum.
This is always crucial when you have a lot of stereo FX or you've got really creative with the stereo image.
I remember working on this one track on my mate's mackies and the stereo image was ing huge, wide, with loads of placement going on. Thing sounded great.
The mono'd it and the whole ing thing turned to . Basically had to start from scratch with the panning EQ and dialing back the FX. Ever since then I always take a measured approach to stereo FX and the width of the spread. Some monitors will let you put clashing frequencies in different places and make them seem like they have separation but it only works on a stereo system.
The V theory is a good guide.
For the life of me I can't find it but there was a great link posted on here a few years ago, which was from DJ Shadow (I think?) getting really technical on the V therory as it applies to frequency vs pan width and placement.
there're more in this thread: (but I still wish I could find that DJ shadow blog post)

I have a mono plugin on my master which I use whenever I'm recording /applying sounds with noticeable stereo treatment. Some sounds will just disappear /"turn to " if they're not adjusted correctly. |
