I just bumped into this old thread… I have found 'David's' techniques sometimes works and sometimes does not in LPX. Bug? In ProTools, it is very easy to assign a stepped quantize amount of slip in a process like this. Is it possible to do this in LPX?

Thanks Guys, Yup- I was using the button in the grab- I know about potential problems with the KC. I suppose I do not have the problem if you put it like that, David. The thing is I have been able to get mono bounces all along, but with no confidence. I suppose strictly, the origin of this thread is a slightly different problem, but it was the closest I could find- sorry. I am not doing the pre-pro on a desk, and so have little 'physical pan control at present. If I accept that I can only hear monitoring from Output 1 on the left (when it is set to mono) and trust that it is mono, and not a capture of the left channel of stereo, and separately try a gain plug-in set to mono on the Stereo Out channel (which the finder tells me results in a single channel file), then when I combine the two resultant files and phase invert one , there is a residual sound, so they are not the same thing. It could of course just be a slight gain mismatch, but I have fiddled and cannot get it quite right. This gives me a lack of confidence.... I am needing to perform this operation many times, and lots of littles could end up as a lot, only truly discovered when I am booked into a mix studio! I just do not remembering experiencing this before; am I imagining that we used to hear mono from both monitors when we hit the mono button, or am I still just doing something stupid?

Thanks David, I know- I have done this process many times before (although I suspect the last time was in v8), but even with the Output set to mono (File Type is greyed out), and displaying 'Output 1' above the Group button, I only hear the mono signal I am feeding the O/P bus on the left. Of course, I realize that stereo is Output 1 AND 2, but I feel certain that when I set the O/P to mono, I used to be able to monitor in mono, ie same signal on both speakers. Now it seems like it is only responding to the '1 of 1+2'. ie on the left. The bounce itself kinda sounds OK, but it is hard to be confident of it when the monitoring changes from doing the bounce to auditioning the bounce. I just do not think my system used to be like this.... I have probably done something really newbie and just not realized! FYI, I have tried trashing the preferences as you suggested back then in this thread.

Thanks Guys, but... shivermetimbers- that gives me mono monitoring sure, but I had that anyway if the Output track was left alone as a stereo (being fed from a mono source). I want to bounce into a mono track to take my track into PT to mix (I want to rationalize the monos as monos, including things like top and bottom snares, not just have gratuitous dual monos); if you set the gain plug to mono, you are still feeding a 'two channel' O/P. You cannot subsequently change the O/P track to mono since it then greys out the mono option in the plug. buzwah- thanks, but this is an operation that I do a lot and used to thought I knew how to... It is something deeper, I think...

Hi Guys, Did you ever get a solution to this one? I have suddenly got this problem too... Thanks.
