Avoid phase-based stereo enhancers for mono compatibility
Problem: phase cancellation in mono, mono incompatibility
Mix in mono first before adding stereo imaging
Problem: over-reliance on stereo imaging before mono balance
Mistake: mixing in mono as primary method
Problem: flat stereo image, phase issues
Use mono checks sparingly for phase issues
Problem: phase issues, mono incompatibility
Use mono-check to identify stereo imaging issues
Problem: phase issues in stereo imaging
Check phase coherence with a correlation meter
Problem: mono incompatibility, phase cancellation
Use a mono switch on the master channel
Problem: phase cancellation, weak low end
Test for phase cancellation with mono check
Check delay in mono to avoid phase cancellation
Problem: phase cancellation in mono playback
Mix delays in mono first for level balancing
Problem: imbalanced delay levels in stereo
Ensure mono compatibility when using stereo widening
Problem: stereo widening causes mono incompatibility
Mid-side processing is a spatial tool, not just an EQ technique
Check mixes in mono to avoid phasing
Problem: Unintended phasing in stereo mixes
Turn sounds to mono for easier mixing
Check mono under 100Hz to avoid phasing issues
Perform a mono-check by muting stereo channels
Problem: phase issues, mono incompatibility
Check mono compatibility by muting one channel
Problem: phase cancellation in mono
