01Overview

Lowtility 2 is a stereo tool for shaping the low end of a mix. Venomode describes it as a utility for cleaning up bass frequencies. It combines a low cut filter with controls for the stereo width of the low band, so you can reduce the width of the bass or make it mono. Stereo meters show how the left and right channels interact, helping you spot phase issues before they reach your master.

Low-End Control and Stereo Width

The low cut section offers a choice of four filters, from a gentle 12dB roll-off to a steep 48dB slope. This lets you remove sub frequencies that do not contribute to the mix, or take a more surgical approach.

The width controls work on the low frequencies. You can reduce the stereo width of the bass, or collapse it to mono while keeping either the mid channel or one of the left and right channels. This is useful for keeping low-frequency content centered and compatible with mono playback.

Stereo Meters for Phase Checking

Lowtility 2 includes a Goniometer and a Correlation meter. Together they visually display the phase and stereo information of your signal, so you can see how the left and right channels interact.

Each meter can be switched between the full band and the low band only. Viewing the low band alone helps you check bass phase relationships without the rest of the mix obscuring the picture.
