Awesome video Rosh. I've been hanging for a video like this because the stereo vs mono thing can be a problem, considering most PAs (though they may be wired in stereo), are generally mixed by FOH guys in Mono. A dumb question: If I choose Copy L/R out of Output 1 (or any Output) to FOH, does it mean I HAVE to take the Right Output to FOH because it says: Copy Left to Right? (dumb question I know). Or can I take the Left to FOH? Also, I run a Yamaha DXR 10 MKII for my personal wedge. It's only one speaker so it won't be in stereo of course. It has two channels. Channel Two has a Left and Right in. If I run Output two from the FM9 Left and Right out into the DXR, though it's only one speaker, will I hear delays in Stereo by running Left and Right into the DXR? How will stereo work in that environment though running Left & Right in, but it's only one speaker? Thanks for all your videos - truly appreciated.
You can run either L or R output if you're using the Copy L/R parameter. They're both copies of each other (the Left output) and can be run to FOH or run simukltaneously to FOH and a sound source on stage or your In ear Monitors, Mixer etc. etc. As for the DXR, the two inputs are similar to the QSC wedges and other offerings, They are not stereo inputs, they're just ways to get multiple sound sources into one wedge. For example you could put a vocal mic into one input and an acoustic guitar into the other for a compact solution to busk with and you wont need a mixer.
Thx so much for your answer Rosh. I truly appreciate what you give back to the community, free of charge. Your videos are awesome and the fact that you take five to reply, is an added benefit! Where can I send you a donation for your efforts?
So Rosh, if you are a gigging player and typically give the FOH just a line out of the "left" output, you should change your global settings to "copy L-R" and all of your effects to mono effects? Basically for live use you lose all of the cool effects in the Fractal correct?
I don't usually trust sound engineers to pan my channels correctly. Also I generally find that stereo effects aren't needed in the situations I play in
Sorry, another question. In your preset, I notice you're running one cab in Stereo, yet your Input mode is Left - should that be Stereo? That input mode confuses me!
The input mode is if you're planning on running stereo -into- the cabinet block. You could feasibly put a stereo delay between the amp and cabinet rather than after. Then you would need the stereo input to take advantage of panning effects. You would also need to pan the cabinets. This is another option i occasionally do because time based effects sound different before or after the cabinet block (due to the EQ). I just didn't cover this in the tutorial.
Thanks for another great lesson Rosh!
You're welcome
Thank you Rosh.
You're welcome!
Hi Rash, can you help me to setup with a video my axe fx ii in stereo? I need some guidance with cable and computer interface axe edit.
Hey Gabriele, I don't jave any tutorials of the axefxII, but you can email me at roshroslin@gmail.com and we can set up a 1:1 consult. Thanks!

Thx again for your contribution the Fractal world!

I think the FM9 still sounds amazing in mono, you just don't get the use of putting effects in a stereo field.
What about the AX8? it doesn't have "Copy L/R. So just use "Sum L/R"?
Any reason you mainly use mono over stereo?
