The Swiss army knife that goes on every track.
Gain, pan, stereo width, phase, channel routing, low-end mono, and safety limiting in one dead-simple utility — with real-time correlation and level metering so you always know what your signal is doing.
Fully signed and notarized for macOS as AU, VST3, and Standalone.

- DC Filter — removable 5 Hz high-pass to strip DC offset
- Low-End Monomizer — sums frequencies below an adjustable crossover (20–500 Hz) to mono
- ISP Limiter — inter-sample peak limiting with a -0.1 dB ceiling
- Bypass — clean A/B against the source
- Correlation Meter — real-time stereo phase readout with warning indicator
- Input / Output Meters — stereo level metering with ballistic smoothing
- A/B Comparison — store and recall two complete states
- Randomize — shake up gain, pan, and width
- User Presets — save and load your own settings to disk
- Low-End Monomizer uses a 4th-order Linkwitz-Riley crossover to split the signal, mono the lows, and phase-coherently recombine.
- DC filter is a 5 Hz high-pass that removes DC offset introduced by nonlinear stages upstream.
- ISP Limiter performs inter-sample peak detection with instant attack and ~50 ms release, holding a -0.1 dB ceiling; when disabled, a transparent soft clipper guards the output.
- Width is implemented in the mid/side domain for mono-compatible stereo control.
- macOS 15.0 or later
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac (Universal Binary)
- Any AU or VST3 host (your DAW of choice)
