Mono or stereo in Auria?/midi clock
When I set up tracks to record in Auria, for guitar, mono or stereo? Vocals, mono or stereo? Keys?
Is this a good place to start learning about midi Clock, like what it does, what it's for. I know nothing about it. But I hear you all post/talk about it , and don't quite get it. It looks to be important in regards to timing. But that's all I know.

I generally use mono for anything that's a mono source, which is most instruments and sources. Also, when recording something in stereo, I often use two mono tracks so I can alter the width. It can be done in other ways, but the stereo pan is a balance control. For example, I might take a piano and pan the left fully left and the right in the center. If it was a stereo track and I panned it left, I'd be hearing only the left channel.
If I do have a stereo channel for some reason and I want to alter the width I've done it with the delay plugin set to the tiniest delay, since it won't let you do 0, and will use it 100% wet and decrease the width. However, panning will still be balance so that trick only works if the track will be centered.
Or, maybe none of it works and I fool myself!
I use stereo tracks on everything. I know I shouldn't. But, for now I do.
Midiclock is crucial for keeping sequences in sync. But it's a mixed bag currently on iOS. Bounce around this forum, you'll get an idea of which apps have more reliable clock sources. The Midibus app is one that comes to mind.
Thanks for the responses guys. Appreciate it.
I pretty much do it as @mrufino1 does. Stereo tracks take twice the space and processing power so only use them if you need to. Most instruments and definitely voice are mono but be aware that if you're recording iOS synths that have effects processors built in (like Sunrizer) the effects may be in stereo. If so, you might want to record in stereo—either a single stereo track or two separate mono tracks as suggested above.
It's much easier to record in mono, recording in stereo is going to make your song that much harder to mix IMO.
