I think of this post as a public service announcement. Because we all know the hassles of receiving an overload of stereo files that are not at all stereo from various DAWās. And the time we then spend cleaning that up before we can start our mix properly.
I recently grabbed a very inexpensive piece of software called @monomate.app and it has solved that problem completely. Time is money and the last thing I need to do is spend 20 minutes per song stripping fake stereo to back the intended mono. Highly recommended.

The answer isā¦ @monomate.app . A stand alone app that quickly detects, then converts annoying dual mono files in to true mono files. No more āsplit into monoā hassles within your DAW!
It saves you time and itās super easy to use. Every time a client sends me files for a song to mix, I drop them in Monomate first šš¼.

Receiving stereo mix files from producers and engineers is pretty standard practice for Dolby Atmos work - but in Atmos, channel count is limited, and having a tool to quickly fix and convert stereo. files that are actually mono.
@monomate.app does exactly that, and has become a daily tool for me to ensure Iām loading the correct files into Pro Tools for Dolby Atmos mix sessions.
Shoutout to @thomasdulin for creating a simple yet effective tool that saves the boring admin task of file preparation and lets me focus faster on the creative side of mixing.
