What Monofilter Is For
Monofilter is a bass processing plug-in designed to recenter, clean, and solidify the low end without destroying the sense of space. It ensures mono compatibility, corrects phase issues caused by stereo effects or synthesis, and prepares your mixes for any medium: streaming, club, home cinema, or vinyl.
Main Features
Low-End Centering and Width Management
Precisely set the crossover frequency to mono, adjust the width of low/high bands from 100% mono to unmodified, and use independent stereo/mono trims to balance mix energy.
Intelligent Phase Alignment
Phase control corrects mono cancellations below a defined threshold. In Auto mode, it tracks signals whose phase varies over time to preserve the impact and clarity of kick-bass.
Mixing, Mastering, and Vinyl
Choose "Zero Latency" for tracking, "Linear Phase" for transparent mixing, then activate HQ mode for mastering. Monofilter helps avoid stereo bass issues on vinyl records and allows you to gain perceived loudness without pumping.
Designed for Studio and Stage
Controlled CPU usage, a global algorithm link to synchronize multiple instances, and clear visual feedback (spectrum analyzer, correlation) facilitate use both live and in the studio.
