Split Stereo Mastering, Hows it used Options

[prologicscot]

Hi there

I got so many Qs

Essentially how does bouncing into a split stereo format work in mixdown
as opposed to interleaved stereo files??

Where & in what applications would I bounce into split stereo

Appreciate any advice

Thnx

Pro-Tools only plays mono files..... so anything stereo is just two mono's linked.... idea being that you pan it left 'n' right at the mixer end.....pro-tools users would never mix in the box ....not proper one's anyway... so it's a more logical way to route digital audio...

Are you bouncing down in the digital domain? or Ana ? if you where in the digital domain...there's no reason why you should be getting bleed through? that kinda thing simply don't happen unless you've made a routing mistake.... possibly?


1, There's a buss that's getting a small signal from your click track and returning it as stereo?

2, you're digital / analogue desk has cross talk on the summing stage.... likley if cheap?

3,your "playback" device may have a bleed through problem.....

4, why are you using a stereo playback device for a live production....? you could get an 8 track hard disk recorder..... and stem mix your parts so your engineer can compansate parts of the mix to suite the venue.... plus you have loads of chanels for click....

need to know what devices you're using to mix down before any real answers can be said....


cheers...
