Agree with Thomas. <br>
<br>
I monitor in mono sometimes to check the mono compatibility and also
the balance. Often the level of the vocals, kick and reverbs will be
more obviously too loud or too quiet in mono. <br>
<br>
The single speaker Thomas is referring to is often this one:<br>

<br>
I just use an old stereo with the speakers close together as second
monitors for a similar purpose. <br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<div>Now if you want to be very specific, an external hardware
controller is often used to switch between monitor systems,
and some people will use a single mono, and often
intentionally crappy(Meaning not flat response), monitor
speaker, to hear what it will sound like on many systems.
SOme could argue that mono compatibility is less of an issue
than it was, but it is still a good idea to check.</div>

<div>Often times it can be good to balance your mix in mono, and
towards the end, add stereo panning. If it sounds good in
mono, it can probably sound great in stereo.</div>

<br>
The term 'summing up to mono' is seen in audio
mixing/mastering<br>
articles, which basically means to hear your mix in mono, to
check out<br>
what would be the effects of phase cancellation for
instance. I<br>
presume phase cancellation would be more acute in mono than
in a stereo<br>
field.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to realize this mono summing up in Ardour ?
For<br>
instance a typical session with say 20 tracks, 4 busses and
1 master<br>
bus. Using a 1010LT card, playback 1 and 2 are the default
speakers,<br>
and playback 3 and 4 the headphones. Would creating a mono
bus and<br>
having sends from all the tracks sent to that mono bus which
in turn<br>
would be assigned to single playback output 5 connected to a
single<br>
speaker, achieve what is meant in those articles ?<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
