Yeah, that's all that's happening. Basically if you import a mono file into fls, it splits it into a 'stereo' track when you export it again. I don't see the point in that, cos all you end up with are files twice as big as they should be. but if it doesn't harm it opening it in soundforge or whatever and re-merge the channels, then it's not such a problem, just silliness.

Btw, as simple as your plug is, it's a very handy thing to have around (i'm sure you already know that though. ) It's a nice tool to give breathing space by turning it on and off on a stereo track when stereo isn't particularly needed at that point.

Actually, with the new versions that are in beta, the engine has been improved. It is still recording mono to stereo, but the engine can actually read true mono tracks, so you can manually convert the mono recorded track that is made into stereo by FLS, back into a true mono track, and FLS will be able to read it.

The main reason FLS is still using stereo, is that supposedly the mixer still uses stereo.

The sad part is that Gol doesn't have plans to change the mixer.

That's too much! You'll f**king kill someone!

Nah, you can convert stereo to mono up to 12 or so without a high probability of death.

My freebie Steroid Bouncer does this, and a lot more.

Heh, and it's already in my database.

I must've missed it somehow.

Thanks,

Does it duplicate the effects of the impedance mismatch that that using a Y cable produces?

I certainly hope not

I was just looking for a simple utility like this to check my mixes in mono. I've just downloaded it and plan to dump it on the master buss and enable it when I want to check for mono phasing issues. I'll just have to be sure to disable it while rendering the final track. Thanks!

Glad I could help

I nominate this for thread of the month.
And for the record, Jack Dark made me laugh out loud. I refuse to write LOL. Damn!

Wow, awesome, my mono mixes have never sounded like this before.

When I think of it I have never made any mono mixes.

I'd love it if FL could export to mono.

By the way, while we're at it, TbT made a plug called "SX Mono Button" which works perfect in FL. I use it all the time when ridiculous EQ f**ks around with the phase of things. This looks even better tho; a nicer GUI and with SX Mono Button you actually have to press a button to enable the effect

Thanks!
