Monitoring utility
mono
Use mono for easier true mono monitoring in the box.
Mono is available for Windows & Mac (Intel / M1) as AU, VST3 and AAX.
Features
No Panning
One single click gives you true mono on the speaker you want. No multiple clicks and pans required to achieve this.
Transparency
True mono out of one speaker avoids comb filtering effects in contrast to phantom mono.
Balance
It is easier to judge the balance of a mix in mono, especially when it comes to crucial decisions like vocal leveling.
Resets to Defaults
No parameter recall. So you don't end up checking your cables when resuming a session.
It's Free
Just a quick registration below is required.

Why another mono plug-in?
Most DAWs make it hard to quickly switch forth and back if you want to listen to mono over one speaker.
They all provide a mono mixdown out of the box, but the signal is sent to both channels. That is phantom mono, not true mono. In most cases you have to reach for the panning, which is too complicated if you do not have hardware buttons doing this job.
If you love true mono, and if you do not, you probably will: this plugin is for you. Feel free to donate if it helped you improve your mix.
