Stereo Interleave Bug

[Shaun Swanson]

Hi,

 

My project plays fine in stereo when it is first opened. I change the interleave to Mono on the master bus now and then to help with mixing decisions. But once I do that the project behaves oddly. It will no longer preview in real stereo. When I pan an channel hard L or R the overall volume dips, but the sounds is still centered. If I close and reopen the project it is fine until I preview in mono again.

Im away from my computer but I use a free plug in that allows me to choose to solo different frequencies and mono. It’s made for mastering. 
Found it. Isol8 ( isolate)

Thank you. That seems to be a decent work around

I'll have to check that one out.

Except for the mono part, I do that with the old Sonitus Multiband Compressor, with a preset that essentially disables the compression/limiting, and just lets me solo each of the 5 bands (you can solo all of them or only one or a few), to mute the other ones.   But it looks simpler in Isol8. 

 

I've used ChannelTools to do different stereo/mono filtering, but I don't do much of that so don't know it all that well.
