Hey guys, sorry if this is answered in other posts, but I couldn't find an answer in searching. I know at school usually, if your using one mic, you use a mono track, and if your using 2 mics, lets say in a x-y pattern you use a stereo. I was wondering if this holds true. If your recording vocals with one mic, do you record in mono or stereo? If your recording a guitar amp with one mic, do you use mono or stereo tracks?
