Hello,
I have a quick question. I have Cubase 5 running on Windows 7 and i use the Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40.
My template that i use I have 4 MONO Inputs and One STEREO input. Basically i use the different monos for the different instruments i am recording. The level meter in the project window (to the right of the Track name) and on the mixer will produce ONE solid blue bar upon playback.
My question is as follows: i am recording a friend of mine’s demo. Since i cannot record acoustic drums at my place, I bring my Korg D888 to his house and record 6 tracks of drums. I them dump them back into Cubase to mix and process and add the other tracks. When i imported these WAVs, I accidentally didnt use the template project as mentioned above, but used a default project. the default project only had ONE STEREO Input buss - Left & Right. Now when i play back the level meters are split like a stereo track. When i used the Korg in the past and did this type of transfer I would export to a MONO Input buss and the WAVs werent stereo as far as I can recall.
I know I am not recording in stereo but just curious if this is problematic that the level meters are split like a stereo file. Not sure if this would effect how I pan the overheads etc… I am pretty sure when I imported WAVs from theKorg in the past they would be included as mono files.
I am not sure if i am explaining this right but just want to see if this makes a difference or not. I like the solid mono level meters when mixing and recording …lol
Thanks
