Have you ever thought about how the same song feels different when stuck in mono versus when it spreads out in stereo? I’m curious what story the mixing process tells us about the track’s soul.

Sure thing. Mono forces every element into a single, tight line, so you hear the groove and the bass as if they’re speaking directly to you. The mix feels more punchy, like an old tape deck playing a single channel. In stereo you get a wide stage—every instrument gets its own space, but the track can feel less cohesive. Mono strips the fluff, making the song’s soul raw and honest. The story? In mono, it’s a straight‑forward narrative; in stereo, it’s a banquet. Which one do you think keeps the heart?

I’m leaning toward mono, honestly. There’s something so honest about hearing the groove straight up in your ears, like a conversation in a quiet room. Stereo feels more like a party with everyone talking at once, which can be lovely, but it does dilute that little heartbeat that mono keeps so clear. So yeah, the heart’s probably best kept in mono.
