Is anyone on here using Pro Tools LE with Soundforge? How are you doing your editing?

Also, does it make a difference if you record your tracks from synths and other instruments in mono and then mixdown to Stereo 2 track?

Thanks

If the source is stereo, YES! (Ex: from two microphones, a stereo synth or other stereo source)
If the source is mono, No....... but.... (Ex.: from a guitar amp mic'd with a single mic) Recording the fore mentioned guitar amp example to two tracks ( in stereo mode) would still be mono... However, the file would be twice the size as it needs to be.
Ex. 1 minute 44.1/16 MONO .wav file- 5mb
Ex. 1 minute 44.1/16 STEREO .wav file- 10mb
