Mongoose

Mongoose is a mid-side processor that sums all frequencies below a selectable crossover to mono, creating a mix that sounds natural in all environments.

Panning is one of the most powerful tools as mixing engineers, but due to the fact that mixes need to be created for multiple environments (headphones, speakers, etc), producers are bound by how they can pan instruments whilst still sounding natural on all of these playback systems.

Have you ever noticed that panning an instrument to one side sounds fine on loudspeakers but hurts your brain on headphones? This is because, in real life, no sound goes into just one ear unless it’s coming from your ear (like headphones).

Mongoose fixes this problem by summing low frequencies to mono so that no matter how far you pan your instruments, they will sound equally natural on both headphones and speakers.

Mongoose - Just the Facts

• Sums low-frequencies to mono with adjustable crossover
• Very low CPU impact
• Focus and tighten low-end while ensuring mix translation
• Create contrast with high-frequency widening
• Sculpt the width and depth of a mix
• No phase issues when summing to mono

Take on Mongoose

Keep in mind that a Mixer's job is essentially the same as that of a magician: to create a satisfying illusion in the mind of the audience. So while left and right are all you have in stereo, mono bass summing focuses the centre image while creating the illusion of greater space in the stereo field, which in turn simplifies the mixing process. Mongoose makes it easy to achieve a focused and punchy centre image with as much width on the sides as you like.
