Getting a good mono mix – any tips?

Post by Christian_R » Sun Sep 11, 2022 8:29 am

Hi!

I was starting to get quite happy with my latest mix, until I listened to the song on mono. The bass og beat still sound decent, but the leads are getting a much lower volume.

Are there any good tips on how to deal with this? My 2 different lead synths consists of 3 combining sounds from Spire and Massive (3 sounds on each melody), and I haven't really touched the setting on these instruments too much.

So do these plugins make sound that's not too mono friendly, or am I doing something wrong? I suspect it is the latter :D

Most of these sounds has some chorus, reverb etc. But when I turn these effects off, they sound more flat and boring.
