Mike MorrisonJust wanted to drop a follow-up production note. . .
A lot of the discussion we had in this thread was mix related, but last week I had to track a vocal session and the producer had some low-end bass that was split L/R. In headphones it was pretty distracting, so I dropped Mongoose on it and mono-ized it from ~350Hz down and it helped the artist lock right into the track.
Not limited to just vocal tracking, of course, but that was an unexpected real-world use that came up here. Should be handy for any kind of overdubs when bass is split L/R but needs to be in the headphone mix.
