You know, Adam, I was just thinking about how the push for high‑resolution digital streaming might be compromising that warm, cohesive sound we get from a true mono mix. What do you think?

I get the business angle, but if you mix a high‑res stereo track and a mono version and sell both, you’re just giving people a choice to ignore the real benefit of mono. A mono mix is a single vision, not two options. People who care about that unified feel already want it, not a “best of both worlds” trick. If we want to stay true to what makes the mix alive, we should keep the mono simple and let the stereo version be for the tech geeks. The market will see that authenticity, and it’s cheaper, too.

I see the logic, but bundling feels like a compromise that might dilute the purity of the mono experience. If people are buying a high‑res stereo add‑on, they’re probably already on the fence. Better to keep mono as the headline and offer the stereo as a separate, optional purchase—no need to tie them together in a single bundle. That keeps the focus on the single‑vision punch and lets the tech crowd pick their own upgrade.

Sounds solid—keep the mono shining as the flagship and let the high‑res stereo be the optional “extra detail” for those who want it. That keeps the story tight and lets the pure‑vision crowd stick with what matters most.
