Option for mono output

NOTE: Please use the search function above before posting to avoid creating duplicate topics.

I think djay pro should consider adding the option to output the audio as mono. Unless I’m missing something else, I am receiving stereo signals in my headphones, which makes using the old one ear on, one off tricky.

Hi @jmoak311, thanks for the suggestion! Good idea. I have forwarded this to the dev team for consideration. In the meantime, please use the blue Vote button at the top left of this page so we can gauge user demand for this feature. Thanks!

Hello everyone!
I would like to beef up the suggestion of including the option of setting the Master audio output to mono. Why? I have situations where I go to work and the sound in the place is in mono or there are also places where I go to work that only provide me with one channel from the soundboard. And I have songs in stereo where sometimes the voice or some element of the music is only on one side and when playing in mono sound the music seems to be faulty.

I had a recent problem when I played Twist and Shout by the Beatles. And in the original recording, the vocals are only on one channel. And the channel I connected to the soundboard was the one with no vocals. And when it was played through the PA, the song became instrumental.

Hey @brunolima, I’m pretty new to djay pro but your old post just popped up on my feed, and I’m not sure if you’ve found a solution. The djay pro team just informed me that for my unit (ddj1000srt) you set the controller basically in recovery mode, and change it from there. I’ve got my unit in my trailer buried in dj furniture but will dig it out this weekend since I’m off and give it a go. Not sure what board/mixer you use, but you may be able to change it via your mixer. Best of luck.

hello @jmoak311!
Thank you for your reply and help. Unfortunately, I don’t have the option to set it to Mono through my controller. I use a Hercules Inpulse 500 and it doesn’t have this option.
A solution that I sometimes use, but don’t like, is to use a Y cable. But I would prefer it to be done through software, which would be a better solution, and I believe that for development purposes it wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. But anyway, thank you for your time!

Yes this doesn’t work for my Reloop Ready either (at least I don’t think). Thank god I only use it for ceremonies otherwise I’d be upset.

Thanks for the additional feedback @brunolima and @jmoak311.

Yes. Add a mono output option for main output. thanks.
both on left and right main, so i can connect 2 mono speakers directly.

Thanks for the additional input @PatriceCros

It should be an optional toggle (mono output) on the right side of the “Main Output” blue text and allow to chose from the drop down menus the asio output.

This would be a welcomed feature for me also. At the moment I have just one speaker and although the speaker can take a stereo signal and mix it to mono it requires a stereo rca female to 1/8 adapter or 2 xlr cables to get the job done.

It would be nice to be able to use just one xlr cable as my Rane One doesn’t have a mono switch either.

Thanks for the additional feedback @Wyley
