Your mono tracks might render as stereo if you start adding effects like a stereo reverb or the like. The "dry" source would start as a mono track though. Hope it works out for you. Another trick some folks use is a "click" track which is used to keep the beat between the different tracks. So

Ok understand that. However as I said, the microphone is a mono source. So you have your voice on one mono track, your music on another stereo track etc. Then you want to mix those tracks together for the end result. Nektarios. > On 28 Jan 2016, at 16:10, Donna Goodin
