When recording - mono or stereo?

  • I've been having so much fun playing with my KPA that I haven't recorded much. I'm monitoring my KPA in stereo currently but was wondering whether I should go mono into my DAW when I record. Comments?


    Cheers,

    For recording unless a patch uses effects that really need to be recorded stereo, I always record amp sounds mono, then you can double track them or even go crazy with 3-4 or more tracks of the same part for a huge sound with panning, that's how a lot of people record Real amps, one thing to try with digital units since there are so many amps available, is layer the same parts with different amps.

  • If I am gonna multi layer I record mono. If a single pass I record stereo even if there is no stereo fx on the profile. Just how I roll ;)
