Built in collaboration with Flotown Mastering, Basslane Pro combines transparent manipulation of stereo width with solutions to preserve musical content that would otherwise be lost when summed to mono.
Mono Recovery is a unique feature of Basslane Pro that allows you to preserve the anti-phase low-end that can typically occur with wide synth basses and highly processed tracks.
When played back in mono, or when using other processors for monoing, these types of signals drop in level substantially or disappear altogether resulting in an obvious lack of low-end.
Mono Recovery prevents this, allowing them to be blended back in to taste for bass that retains its impact, even in mono.
With uses far beyond mono’ing, Basslane Pro offers refined ways to enhance width, punch, and low-end richness. The Stereo Harmonics feature allows you to inject upper bass harmonics to add definition and controlled low-end width without problematic stereo information in the subs.
The easy-to-use multiband dynamics, powered by their acclaimed Unisum compressor, makes it effortless to tame unruly transients or enhance low-end punch and tightness.
“This thing is awesome! (I’m) really enjoying using it on both vinyl cuts and other mastering operations – the bass is huge but still controlled and punchy,” said Matt Colton (Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, James Blake) of Metropolis Mastering London.
The plugin is available for Mac and Windows, and Tone Projects has also released an update to the free version of Basslane.
