Monofilter: Bass Management Plugin for Mastering by NUGEN Audio Free Download

Wide bass frequencies need deeper grooves when a track is cut to vinyl, and in extreme cases this can make the needle jump during playback. Summing the low end to mono is the safest approach for any track intended for vinyl release.

Club systems are another concern. Many PA setups run entirely in mono or with mono subwoofers, but a full stereo system can produce a wobbling effect in bass when someone moves through the room. Monofilter addresses both situations by collapsing the low frequencies to mono before the track goes out.

Monofilter offers a stereo width envelope and an HPF cut-off, so you can set where the mono summing begins and how the bass behaves across the track. Individual M and S trim controls let you adjust the mid and side levels directly.

Stereo spectrum analysis and a phase correlation control help you check the result. Processing modes include Zero Latency, Linear Phase and HQ, so you can choose the trade-off that suits your session.
