If there is one thing I’d want to help every single producer in the world with, it’s their mono signal – even just to make my daily work a bit faster (especially when it comes to mastering only where I can't fix this, while I can in mixing when I have the stems).
Hence the public video (one reason I made this is I can point my patrons/students/clients to this instead of writing about it detail every time).
I hope as many producers in the world will get to see this as possible. Feel free to share!

So let's make your signal strong and mono-compatible.

On the video, I’m letting your hear how a sound that is nice and wide may perform very poorly in mono. I show you how to hear it and how to fix it very easily with free tools.

Get that mono right!

PS: Next up: a Patreon-exclusive Metalheadz video walkthru…so stay tuned! 🤘🏻💀

PPS: Thanks to everybody for the support!
