so it kinda takes a while to balance out the consequences of the day’s work so that it sounds about the same through different speakers and doesn’t cause any lasting harm to either them or to you -) There’s a very wide stereo field and if things are slowly phasing around, ya might hear holes!!! Now, we don’t need those, especially on the bass, so mono sniffs those out, along with any other weirdness which pops out of nowhere. I’ve also found it quite important to listen in mono while final mix/mastering. This is proving invaluable in emphasising rhythms and just keeping it all in context, bass particularly. Thankfully, the wonders of modern technology bring forth such things as decent multi-band compression. It’s important frequencies are wide-band and unpredictable, with a huge dynamic range. I wanted to say that Electronica, especially the long, murky, dark pieces with muddy sequences, designed to build certain moods etc… this stuff is a bitch to master. The two driving sequences don’t sound entirely in key together, but then nothing else much sounds entirely in key either! But it works just fine and in spite of the bounce, the piece still retains a chilled slow-burn feel. Finding myself tasked with the RS5 write-up just after having separated a maimed bird from one of the cats, first thing, before even coffee… Well at least 5-Alpha should get you awake! It has a slow techno beat and hops along just like that bird doesn’t, anymore.
