You'd think every DAW would have something like this: Subtract everything that's stereo (AKA keep only the sound that's present in both channels).
I have old mono records that I wanted to clean up. In that case, any stereo content is obviously scratches and surface noise, so removing it would be most of the job. But nope... not one DAW offered this filter, despite offering the opposite (removing mono content and keeping the stereo).
And yes I did try removing the mono content and then subtracting the result from the full source, but this didn't work; I don't remember (or know) why.
- recursive 2y agoVoxengo MSED is a free VST that can set gain/level on mid and side independently. https://www.voxengo.com/product/msed/ https://www.voxengo.com/product/msed/
- DidYaWipe 2y agoCool, thanks. I'll check it out.
- efilife 2y agomaybe you just didn't know how to do it. You can do this easily in FL studio (even free version) using stereo shaper
- DidYaWipe 2y agoNever heard of "FL studio."
- efilife 2y agoReally? This is (probably) the most popular DAW nowadays! It has a free trial and the only limitation is you can't open previously saved projects, but rendering works as normal. Give it a try. If you still need to isolate the mono signal, put stereo shaper on the mixer channel and choose (right click two arrows at the top of the plugin) one of the presets called mid or something, I don't remember now. It's that easy
- DidYaWipe 2y agoThanks. I'll check it out. I don't know who it's "the most popular" with, but nobody I know uses it. Logic, Pro Tools, Ableton, Reaper, Audition, even Twisted Wave for simple stuff... but never that one.

- gtvwill 2y agoThat's pretty interesting. I don't suppose you could do it with some manual physics/electrical engineering wizardry like Dave Rat uses in this video for canceling out audio for a centre speaker? https://youtu.be/AxZOv0baN2Y?si=fc51MQHRItT6nYKI https://youtu.be/AxZOv0baN2Y?si=fc51MQHRItT6nYKI
- muziq 2y agoEvery DAW does.. You want M(id)/S(ide).. Sum+Difference.. L+R/L-R.. etc.. If they don’t have those names you mix channels, and usually can apply negative volume amount to subtract.. Or a separate invert select.. M=L+R S=L-R
