Rick said it straight out:

| What's wrong with (L+R)/2 as a mono-afying strategy?

Or at the most complicated, (L*R)^.5, right?  Either way, equal readings in
the two channels should produce that same value in the mono result.

I wonder if there's some way to find out with what calculation various MD
recorders short stereo to mono; for that matter, what happens mathematically
in a tabletop radio tuned to a stereo signal, when both channels are shaking
the same speaker?

How do mixing routines in sound editors calculate their results?  Do they
just take the arithmetic mean of the amplitude?
