BLOG QUESTION: MONO VS. STEREO

What is the difference between stereo and mono recordings? What are 2 things that you found interesting in this article? Why?

Stereo contains both left and right channels, giving it 3-Dimensional sound. It has two channels with the same source of audio, and it allows you to record unique/different audios for both channels. Mono is "one" recording, with one mic, onto one channel. When the output puts out the same sound, even if there are two speakers (ex. headphones), it is considered mono. What u found most interesting was that the two-channel audio system was demonstrated by Clement Ader as early as 1881, but mono audio was still used up until the 1940s. Fantasia, A disney movie, was the first movie to use stereophonic sound and that is also a nice detail.
