        Hey all,

        I’m unusual in that I’m deaf in one ear. Maybe that’s why I’ve noticed this…
        Often, I’m listening to someone’s song submission to this forum and I see their fingers moving on the guitar, but all I hear is the backing track. Then, I realize I need to switch my earbuds because the lead (or vocal) is on the other channel.

        This is just food for thought (I know I have a unique situation…) Generally would one want to mix the channels to some degree? I recall nice stereophonic sound mixes. It always seemed to have a well-rounded 3 dimensional effect.

        What are your thoughts?

          Hi Michael,

          My musician/producer friend is also deaf in one ear and thus he calls his projects “Half-Deaf Records”. He usually listens to the music loud through the speakers 😉

          The sound production surely is an art of its own and it takes time to learn some of its principles, for those who even want to learn about it. It is only recently that I discovered that I can pan (separate) the backing track from a solo, after someone made a comment about it. I’m also just now discovering such features as equalizer and compression. I would love to learn more as I go along but it’s a process, kind of like trial and error. Constructive comments are always appreciated 🙂
