Hi,
Is it possible to output to mono when a compressor is on an input channel that is feeding a mono vocal channel?
I'm guessing it isn't as all effects have stereo outs.
I just want a mono vocal file that has the compression on it.
Freeze and flatten creates a stereo file too.
Thanks

Re: Compressor on input to mono file
Would adding a Utility to the compressed track and selecting mono give you what you're after?

Re: Compressor on input to mono file
So, you have a stereo vocal, and after adding a utility (set to mono) and a compressor (Ableton stock compressor?) you still have a stereo output?jimmynitcher wrote: ↑Mon Nov 01, 2021 12:52 pmThanks but unfortunately that doesn't give me a mono file
Hmmmmm. It totally should give you a mono file. Is there anything else on the track or the master bus that could be causing this? You got a delay or anything AFTER the compressor? No cheeky signal being routed to a send?

Re: Compressor on input to mono file
The mono utility still shows the file as stereo in the timeline, it may be playing in mono.
I want to record vocals in mono as usual but I want it compressed in real time (a compressor on an input channel) that produces a mono output file in the timeline.
So far the only way I can achieve this is to export the vocals with a compressor on the track, which is very time consuming if I want to see the results on the waveform with different compressor settings.
Thanks for your help.

Re: Compressor on input to mono file
May I ask why you do not want a stereo file? Soundwise it should not differ much I guess, or do you need it in another device or so?
Live works mostly in stereo, with stereofiles. Maybe I do not get it.......
