    In electronic music you often slightly detune the left and right of a synthesizer to make it sound “wide”, you can’t do that in mono and if you mix the stereo down to mono it sounds boring.

      However most clubs are going to be playing mono so always bounce to mono and test mix.

      Cant you do that in mono with two oscillators? Also aren’t analog synths mono most of the time?

        I don’t think so because the effect is perceived by the time difference each ear receives. The same way we perceive direction of a sound by our brains automatically calculating how long the sound took to get to either ear.
