Fix your mono mix! [video, 15 mins]
Another exclusive video for ya'll dear patrons:

Now this one's something I should've done a long time ago: a video on how to make sure that the mono of your mix works.
In mixing music for others, this is something I fix all the time, every single day.
The good news is it's very easy to find out about mono issues AND fix them with free tools.
But a lot of producers don't do it, and when they play their music in clubs (or any mono system) for example, some of the important elements of the song may appear way too quiet.
This video will show you how to spot and fix mono issues.
I also talk about WHY it's important to have a powerful mono, in case it's not obvious.

OK upon rewatching video I now understand technique. thanks Janne.
cool! hope it's useful
Janne? How please are you making mono then rewidening sounds? I didn't get that
When Width of Utility is set to 0%, it's mono. Then going back towards 100% makes it stereo again. FWIW, off-topic of not, Utility cannot *generate* width if a sound is mono.
Great tips, learned a few things!
Glad it's useful! I used to think everyone checks their stuff in mono, but based on the premasters/mixes I get, that's nowhere near the truth…hence want to have everyone do it :)
