CHECK / free utility
see where your stereo falls apart.
real-time spectral mono compatibility analyzer. see exactly which frequencies collapse when summed to mono.
no account needed. no iLok. just download.
in action
see what your mix looks like in mono.
CHECK analyzing a stereo mix. the correlation curve shows safe frequencies in mint and problem areas dropping into the red zone. the bass-weighted score reads 55% — REVIEW MIX.

what makes CHECK different.
spectral correlation curve
see mono compatibility across 40 frequency bands in real time. not just a single number — a full picture of where your stereo image holds up and where it falls apart.
bass-weighted score
the score weighs low frequencies 3x heavier than highs — because that's where mono collapse actually hurts. if your bass drops below 60%, your low end won't survive a club system.
frequency-focused analysis
the FOCUS knob lets you zoom into LOW, FULL, or HIGH frequency ranges. isolate your bass mono compatibility or check just the stereo highs.
instant mono and side monitoring
MONO button collapses to mono so you hear the damage. SIDE button solos the difference signal — everything that disappears in mono, isolated.

CHECK finds the problems. these fix them.
CHECK shows you where your mix has phase issues. the rest of the KERN series gives you the tools to fix them — without destroying what makes your mix yours.
SMOOTH / $29
tame harsh resonances
dynamic resonance suppression across 40 psychoacoustic bands. when CHECK shows buildup in problem frequencies, SMOOTH removes it without killing the life.

add harmonic richness
three analog saturation characters with spectral awareness. add warmth and presence that translates in both stereo and mono.

expand your stereo field
psychoacoustic stereo expansion with built-in mono protection. when CHECK says your stereo is too narrow, WIDE opens it up safely.
