BOZ DIGITAL Mongoose - Low-End Stereo to Mono Summing Plug-In (Download)

Mongoose from Boz Digital is a plug-in for tightening the bottom end of mix when the relevant tracks have been recorded in stereo. While stereo tracking can be very beneficial when it comes to higher frequencies, large stereo spreads for lower frequencies can sound unnatural and result in weaker bass.

The software takes all the wide, low frequencies and puts them right in the middle of the stereo field, which results in a low end that translates better to headphones and 2.1 systems. The plug-in is easy to use, requiring only an adjustment of the crossover frequency, where everything below that point is summed to mono. Additionally, the width of the stereo image can be adjusted using dedicated low and high width-knobs.
