Others than wasting some disk space with the stereo one, no. But, of course, should you record that patch, you should only record one side of the output, unlike you really like to deal with possible phase cancellations (which can always happen when running two identical sounds through analog equipment).parke02 wrote: Either way, does it make a difference whether a mono patch is recorded on a single mono channnel or a stereo channel?

Are you certain it is mono? Invert one channel (left or right, it matters not) and play the patch back in mono. If you get no audio, then indeed it is mono, but if you don't, then it's not true mono.parke02 wrote:Well, I almost never record mono patches, I just happened to be messing around with some patches and recording at the same time when I noticed this.

If it is mono, you've wasted a track's worth of HDD space, and depending on how your daw handles stereo panning, you may have a gain difference, but otherwise it matters not.
