Which is why everything below 100HZ needs to be monophonic! A cutting engineer can't fix that without putting your music through a crossover and messing with the bass phase while checking a goniometer. They really hate that shit.
It's interesting that Rashad Becker from D+M says it ain't so.
Robert Henke: Does this imply that you can cut more complex signals if they are in mono than if they are stereo?
Rashad Becker: "Well in mono they /are/ less complex, so mono signals might cause slightly less problems. But there is a huge myth about that you can only cut bass in mono, thats something which is really resistantly in producer's heads, *its absolutely not true!*
I have been cutting several thousand of vinyls and I really have to think hard about when ever I had to cripple a stereo bass signal beyond musical recognition because it wasn't translatable to vinyl. That might be three cases, in all that years."
