Work? I tried working once- didn't care much for it... never went back.
Yes that guitar does disappear in mono...Scott DeVarenne wrote:Just listen to the f'n song in mono.
Mmmmmm.... You're copy must be broken... Pretty "stereo" for me. I mean, we're not talkin' drum kit hard right/bass hard left kinda stereo, but certainly wide sounding for my taste.macrae11 wrote:"Walking on the Moon" isn't mono. It's certainly centre heavy,...

I'm asking around and this find of yours seems to not be widely as known as you would think. What were you doing to discover this?Scott DeVarenne wrote:Yes, clipped and overdriven, but it's so nice.
But yeah, I wanted us all to go "Wow, such a great sounding and successful track, yet when summed to mono, the very significant rhythm guitar pretty much disappears. How could that be?" Was it a hit? Was it played on the radio back in 1979-80? I'm not trying to brag about how young I am, but I would have been too young to even know where our radio was when this album was released. I would guess there would have been a radio edit or maybe there was some magic technique that I don't know about, which would render tracks "radio friendly".?

Just came across this and thought it was neat.
You need to remember that recording was exclusively "mono" for many years before "stereo" existed. A pan pot was science fiction for many, even once recordings started to be made "In Stereo".dylanger wrote:I guess the reason why his mixes are LCR. I didn't realize that old gear didn't have a pan knob and just had buttons for LCR.
Many radio broadcasts were/are mono, and that may be what someone is talking about there. Stereo radio broadcasts do use a multiplex system that someone could be confused about, but that shouldn't cause any additional concern.dylanger wrote:I read somewhere that you should fix things that don't sound right in mono because radio is not played in "true stereo". What exactly does that mean? Or is this a thing of the past?
