Mono-Stereo monitoring issue

I have found that when I mix things they sound right in my monitoring system, but elsewhere once I've burned them to a disc the information that was panned hard left and right seemed to be lost.
Did a test with a cd straight from the mac audio output, through a stereo aux input in logic, one panned all the way left, the other right, and it sounded wonderful, but when I panned them both center the harsh midrange and overall volume went up 30%. A comfortable listening level in stereo was unbearable in mono.
What can I do about this? And also, when I switch from mono to stereo on my master 1+2 out I can tell no difference and it remains in stereo, the button is not doing anything. Is there a setup issue? enhanced stereo? Anything?
Additional testing, I listened to a solo voice track in the center and it was loud, but when panned to either side it cut the level in half. Help.

this is all normal - and on any DAW - not just logic.
try song settings> audio> pan law. change this to -3db comp.
this will change the balance when monitoring in logic and hence after a bounce will be same on the file as well.
i use the direction mixer plug on the master bus set to 0.0 - this is true mono.
the channel button doesn't seem to change anything.
when summing to mono it is normal for the center to boost up 3db and the sides to drop the same.

How to hear stereo monitoring

I'm recording acoustic guitars with a RODE NG-2 microphone through a TASCAM USB terminal to the iMac into LOGIC PRO but only hear mono while monitoring but do get stereo in playback. Is there a way to hear stereo while monitoring? Track settings are at stereo and stereo output. Thanks

What do you mean by "stereoize"? Is the issue that you are only hearing the guitar out of one speaker/headphone while monitoring? If so your I/O setup still isn't quite right - the guitar may be hard panned to one side, or else just feeding one channel of the stereo output. How exactly are you monitoring?

Trouble with color on Presario, No red tones on display. Not a monitor issue.

Am experiencing trouble with color on Presario, model no. CQ5500F. Purchased a couple of years ago, and trouble was present immediately. Am getting no red tones - red items appear black or sometimes blue. Was told by HP that it was a monitor issue, and let computer slide out of warranty. installed new monitor today and problem still exists. Is this merely a display adjustment of some kind? Or will I have to pay HP their $99 for a one time fix? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hello UncleBob62,
It could be the display driver that is not properly working
1. Click on the start icon
2. Right click on computer and go to properties
3. Select Device Manager
4. Expand display adapters and right click on the video card driver and uninstall
The computer screen will go blank
On the keyboard press the windows key the right arrow key twice and then the letter R.
At this point your computer is going to reboot. After the reboot Windows will install generic drivers for your video card. Do you still see a lack of red tones?

Multiple Monitor Issue

Alright, so I have a 15" Macbook Pro with the dual graphics cards (GeForce 9600M GT and GeForce 9400M GT 256 version). It's the 2.66 intel processor one. Anyway, I've been trying to figure out this dual monitor issue that I've been having for a few days now. When I'm using the 9400M card and I plug into my mini displayport everything works just fine. This includes the VGA cord, the HDMI, as well as a standard Apple monitor. Now, when I switch over to the higher end graphics card, as soon as I plug into the mini displayport my screen goes black. And that's it. I can't do anything. I have to hold the power button down until the computer turns off.
I've been searching for days in order to find an answer to this question or if anyone has ever had a similar problem and no one could help me. I even went to the genius bar and no one could help either. Keep in mind I've tried this in a variety of ways. I've plugged the monitor in after the computer was running, I've had it plugged in while the computer was turning on, and each time after the initial boot up everything goes black.
To make matters worse, I originally came across this issue because I use Windows 7 on bootcamp and I wanted to use dual monitors within Windows. Bootcamp is only set to use the 9600M graphics card which is the one giving me all the heartache and apparently there's no way around it. If anyone has the slightest clue as to what's going on here or why it would be doing such a thing, let me know. Thanks.

Jon: Thanks for answering those questions. Run the Apple Hardware Test that you'll find on one of the DVDs that came with your MBP. If any errors are reported, go back to the Genius Bar with the error codes reported by AHT and ask to have the machine repaired.
If you have extended AppleCare protection, you have a TechTool Deluxe CD/DVD. You can also use that to test your hardware. If it reports any errors, take the exact wording and error codes from that report along with you to the GB, too.
The problem is not with your three external displays or your cables, adapters, or your MBP's mini-Displayport, because they all work fine with the 9400M. The problem isn't some wrong contact that's being made momentarily as you insert the mini-Displayport plug into the port, because it occurs even when the cable is securely connected before starting up the computer. It seems to me the problem must reside either in your 9600M GT or in its connection to the mini-displayport.

Graphics card issue or monitor issue?

Hello, i have a MacPro 2.66 w/ an ATI x1900 and a MacBookPro with th nVidia 8600
i recently purchased a 28" Hanns-g Display which i upgraded from my 20" apple cinema display, im curious if this could be a graphic issue or a monitor issue:
When i connect the 28" monitor to my ATI card (port 1) and boot into 10.4.10 (macPro) i noticed diagonal lines that seem to "scroll" (like an overscan line or something) on greyish and lighter backgrounds.
tried it with the second port, same thing, it does it on all resolutions
(it runs @ 1920x1200).
when i boot into XP and try the same sites i did in 10.4.10 it doesnt do it at all, its as it should.
I tried both VGA>DVI and HDMI>DVI to the ATI on OSX but it only does it with the HDMI>DVI connection under OSX, VGA looks fine.
(btw my ati card is clean as a whistle, no dust or anything)
However if i plug it into my MacBookPRo with hdmi>DVI it doesnt do that at all.
so im wondering probably incompatible monitor or what?
im looking to getting a 30" Apple Display but not if its gonna act up like that on my macpro, none of this appeared on my ACD 20".
any suggestions or tips?
thanks!

im not experiencing scan line son my 30" ACD display under OSX or XP with my ATI, could be the monitor you are using, but if its not doing it with your MBP than.....idk
sonds strange, try another gfx card or another macpro if possible.

Mono/stereo field in iTunes view options

How do I add a mono/stereo field to the view options in iTunes?
I have over 20 years experience working with professional bands but am now deaf in 1 ear so I understand what mono is.
This would help sort a 128 kbs stereo copy of a song that is about half the quality of a 128 kbs mono copy of the same song.

If Apple's iTunes software engineers did not design-in a particular feature or function, you can't add one yourself, unless you are a skilled programmer or hire one to do it for you. Even then, I expect that modifying the code is a violation of the end-user license agreement (EULA).
If I understand your motive, you could rename mono files to distinguish them from others, or perhaps use an existing field - there are quite a few sort fields not typically used - and place an 'M' there to easily sort those tunes.

Playing off the Timeline via firewire( XdCam pal) Monitoring Issues

Hey,
I have just switched to FCP and have found that when recording the from the FCP timeline manually via firewire into a Sony XDCam PDW530 I experience 4:3 flashes in the Camera monitor and viewfinder as the timeline plays down Video Transitions. All effects have been rendered (Blue line above transition)
However the Camera appears to record correctly to disc. I played the recorded material from the camera via an XD deck into a wide screen monitor and all appears fine the 4:3 flashes are not present on transitions. play the disc back in the camera and the 4:3 flashes for the duration of the Video Transitions return????
when playing out of the Camera via SDI and Analogue Composite outputs into a wide screen monitor all appears ok as well.
It's a little odd that you cannot monitor the output correctly on the XDcam. If i change the pull down settings from 2323 to 2332 it monitors the transitions correctly but the video aspect is somewhere between 4:3 and 16:9.
Shoot in 16:9 Capture DV Pal, Edit DV Pal, Playback Output Apple FireWire Pal (720 x 576)
Any ideas????

Thanks Shane,
We have been down the PRINT TO VIDEO road with the same playback issues in the XD Camera's LCD screen. We still see the 4:3 transition on the 16:9 image when playing off the timeline / playing back the recorded media in the camera and viewing on cameras screen .
I guess this is only a monitor issue. If you don't include any video effects it plays down 16:9 perfectly in the cameras monitor
What is recorded onto the disc is fine.
Also my understanding is the what's coming off the timeline is a DV stream so not sure how the GOP format comes into play. Recording onto a XD Cam off the timeline thru other edit programmes has never been an issue. I have come from Avid Pinnacle and the monitoring of transitions was never an issue when streaming back to the xdcam.
Thanks

Loops mono-stereo

Hi,
I was just trying to import a loop in my project. Loop is called "Remix Beatbox Vocal FX". For some reason, when I've imorted the loop and play it, sound only comes from my right speaker. When I look at the waveform, it's also only halve a waveform (only the bottomside is visible). So I tried I'd just change my audio-track to mono-format, but then the loop won't play anymore... How's this possible?
Thanks!

Click and hold the mono-stereo button to choose whether you hear the left or right channel when in mono. It's in the manual by the way.

Making mono, stereo.

Quick question, I recorded some stuff recently in mono. I'm familiar in final cut of duplicating audio after you digitize and then making it a stereo pair so you get left and right audio... whats the quick way to do that in Premiere CS3?

ES1 sidechain - mono/stereo?

Ok, this is rather weird, I hope my memory isn't playing up on me...(!)
Way back when Emagic released the ES1 (version 4.5-ish, I think), it was purely a mono synth (as opposed to stereo). They then added sidechaining to Logic, so you could route audio into it. Cool bananas - this was my main interest in the ES1, I didn't really much like it as a synth. But you could only feed in mono audio through the sidechain, and I wanted to do it to stereo stuff. (PC version, by the way...)
Now sometime later (possibly V5?), they upgraded the ES1 with some new stuff, and one of the new features was the ability to route stereo audio through the sidechain. I remember making a funny post about this on the LUG. Whoopee! Finally! I bought it. Ah, stereo bliss!
Now, I've just been trying to send stereo stuff through it like I'm sure I used to do, but it's staying strictly mono. Tracks, busses, whatever, you can send stereo sidechain signals, but it's summed to mono inside the ES1.
Tried again in Logic 6.4 Pro, and I get the same result.
So before I dig out my PC and try it in 5.51, can anybody else route stereo audio through the ES1 via the sidechain and still get the full stereo signal?
Am I going barmy? (as in, looking like or resembling barm
Weird...

Hello,
Logic Pro 7.23 - I get mono, stereo signals come out mono and if I hard pan the source so it only plays on one channel my stereo ES1 outputs on both if its channels.
Maybe a bug since a long time
Once again how I set it up: one ES1 stereo on one instrument track. one other instrument on another instrument track -> routed to bus 3; output of bus3 to no output, SideChain of ES1 to bus3, second Osc to ext, Mix to Sub.
I am afraid you need to get your PC going to check
Report it!
hope that helps

Mono/stereo conflict

Hello,
I'm using logic pro 7.2.3, I'm trying to import a wave file but when I drag and drop it an error occurs that says: Mono/Stereo conflict. Why is this happening and how can I use this audio file in logic?
Thanks
Mike

Firstly, this is the LP8 forum, so specific LP7 questions are best placed in the LP7 forum.
What is your universal track mode preference set to, what format wave file are you dragging, and where are you dropping it?

Mono/Stereo EQ?

Does anyone have any tips about how to do mono/stereo EQ in Logic along the lines of Brainworx Mono Stereo EQ? I explored Logic's effects looking for ones that could process or isolate mono/centered material vs stereo/panned material in a single stereo track but couldn't find anything.

Thanks for the helpful answers guys, it makes sense, although wouldn't it be better to use melodyne first?
Melodyne needs to be fed a pretty hot and clean signal to get acceptable results, especially with pitch correction or time stretching. The 'cleansing' is done by the de-esser, and the 'hottening up' of the signal is done by the compressor.
My thinking is that if I can pitch correct the vox unadulterated any mixer/producer can use compressors better than me and if I plug one in and overcompress or something before melodyne then I'm stuck with it because melodyne will have recorded the compressed signal.
So what? Adjust the Compressor, and redo the transfer. Or decide no compression is needed, and bypass it. But compression doesn't mean anything is "pumping", it is supposed to be applied moderately, ratio 3 to 1.
"Pitch correct it unadulterated" That is a contradiction. In fact it is much better to first sculpt the whole sound before feeding it to melodyne
Well, then you should do it that way. The only way to tell what works best for you is to simply try it out and listen to the results. Keep in mind that the method must match the material. And for no instrument is the material more varied than vocals. Or, to put it in practice:
Since melodyne is such a versatile tool, shouldn't I perhaps adjust the quieter or louder notes in melodyne to keep a good natural dynamic rather than simply applying a high compress ratio to fix the extremes?
Try it out! It really completely depends on your material and the musical context.
Also, wouldn't it be better to de-ess after melodyne? If I have to sharpen flat notes I may just be boosting the S sounds again
I never encountered that. And by the way, de-essing manually in Melodyne is my preferred method. I don't use de-essing. Popscreens are great hardware de-essers.

Mono/stereo settings inverted

HI!
When stting up tracks to record, the mono / stereo options are inverted
i.e. when I specify as, the track records as stereo, if I pick stereo, the track records as mono.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

I believe you're misunderstanding what stereo and mono are.
Stereo does not mean "coming out of two speakers", it means "two separate signals coming out of two speakers"
If you're using a Mic or a Guitar, for instance (each is a mono device) you must set the track to mono for it to come out of both speakers. Setting the track to stereo will cause sound to come out of only one speaker (because it's expecting two signals and you're providing only one)\

IPod nano 5G: FM Tuner - Mono Stereo or HD ?

Hi:
What type of FM tuner is in the new Apple 5G iPod nano ?
Mono , Stereo , or HD ???
Thanx
DaleB

Just do a upgrade but not the iPod touch please. I was expecting to be wowed by a 3rd generation iPod Touch. Just like the Second Generation wowed me with a speaker, volume control, hidden blue tooth and new shape. These were a 1G to 2G jump.
Faster processor and increased capacity are standard, expected, par for the course, the natural order of things, obvious, no brainers. What was the wow factor this time? What was the funky new shape? What was the speaker? What was the extra buttons?
Face it - no thought went into the ipod touch and the nano.
Stick with the zune HD, cheaper 16gb than the new ipod touch, hd radio, wifi enabled, OLED screen, friendly interface and most of all a new toy to play with :]
