I'm happy that I'm doing the best I can with a mono fx track to give them something to work with down the line. Now when it comes to this thing called comp mono or shadow mono where they prep two mono tracks so when summed they equal the stereo mix in level I just don't quite get why they don't just take a single mono track for the mono needs. Must have something in their distribution chain that warrants this dual mono stem.
