VSX 5 is due to be released any day now, good time to join now. The other emulations are very useful as well - I actually much prefer the new VSX club check and Mike Dean studio over the car checks (there are multiple cars). Also the boom box is great

 

Club check, that would be very useful as well, if it works as expected, of course. I am trying to find a place to check mixes in club environment, with this it would be much easier.

 

Get a Mono-Maker plugin you like. You can use Sonalksis Stereo Tools, and quite a few of the Plugin Alliance plugins. Mono everything under 100hz using that one plugin you pick. Then test/listen for mono compatibility of everything above 100hz. Lots of people do this mono listening consistently during the production and mixing, so that there are not many surprises when the track is nearing completion. Or so the theory goes. This is also another good reason to pick your reference tracks carefully.

 

I just completed my referencing device with midi controller and LED feedback for everything. Two studios, club check and neutral headphone check, check against reference tracks, balance and level comparison, VU-meter and mono check all with dedicated buttons and no need to use the mouse.

Didn't think it would be a big deal but it's a game changer.

Any cheap midi controller and mapping a car or club check and mono check to a button I highly recommend.
