  • What's the purpose of the "Mono to Mono" etc. menu?

    Hello:

    When I add a Vienna Suite effect into Ensemble Pro the dropdown menu offers three options:  Mono to Mono, Mono to Stereo and Stereo to Stereo.  What is the purpose of this menu?  I use Sibelius 7.12 as my sequencer, which allows me to set instrument location from left to right.  Does this mean I should use Stereo to Stereo in Ensemble?  Or should I change all instruments in Sibelius to center and use Mono to Stereo?

    Please enlighten me!  Thanks,
    John


  • the sequencer isn't relevant. I assume you are using Vienna Instruments, which outputs stereo, so you want stereo-to-stereo.

    this was an oft-requested feature; some virtual instruments output mono, and some people prefer it to be mono during mixing.
