i don't use the mono for bass very often and i often get 4-6 parts all building up in roughly the same frequency areas. in the past i would just try to deal with that and end up producing these really dense tracks. now i feel it has helped me to be more discriminating in my mixes. now instead of trying to make all those parts work together, i have just started eliminating parts when something isn't working or really getting the filter and eq ing right. this has led to more space for the essential parts of my tracks. so i feel the mono has made me better mixer with more coherent tracks even if i still can't use it.
