chopping samples: mono or stereo?

I've been checking out a lot of videos on youtube on chopping samples from vinyl, and I was wondering if most people chop in mono or stereo? does chopping in stereo reqire much more work?

mono just means its on one side ... stereo is the way to go..

its not any more work, might take up more sample time but not more work. L + R is stereo

Remember that the newer MPCs (1000, 2500) cannot chop automatically in Stereo.

i kinda like workin with mono drums. it saves a lot more space then having to convert them from stereo. its easier if you have 8 outs

I usually work everything in mono, and then pan certain chops durin the mixdown, but i find its best to sample in mono regardless to if its drums or melody... due to some things we samplin have instruments panned hard either left or right.. and if some one only has 1 workin speaker or friends are sharin ear phones they each only gonna hear half the instruments in the chops etc

mono for drums on the MP, stereo for acoustic like guitar, strings, horns on the ASR for me

and if some one only has 1 workin speaker
Then they need to step up they game, lol.

NAHH.. what im talkin is... not the peeps makin the tracks, but the peeps listenin.. the "buyin public" so the speak..

Or peeps who share earphones showin peeps tracks etc..

I was in streets showin some mans beats once a long while back.. and they wanted to share earphones and hear at the same time (and swap between each other.. was about 6 of them peeps)... but the jazz thing id chopped originally had trumpet panned HARD to one side and sax HARD to other side, so they was each only hearin half the instruments in the chops..

That was the main thing that made me realize about workin in mono..

Most hiphop is made in mono.. pete rock.. premo.. etc etc, most things involvin chopped samples... when things are panned its usually not a case of bein sampled in stereo... its a case of whats called 'panned stereo' where certain individual chops have been panned..

Which is a much much much better way to work when u workin with sampled sh!t etc etc etc

Oh and if ur workin with individual instruments... samplin each individual instrument in stereo is pointless... coz its one instrument, things are only panned when theres a number of instruments / elements together.. so theres room for each to sit in its own place and create space within the track...

in that case each one is sampled or recorded in mono... and then panned in the mixdown along with the other instruments etc...
