About channel routing and QC
Channel routing is not only a utility step, it is a delivery-quality decision. This tool is built to help you convert, inspect, and validate channel layouts quickly with practical headroom and reporting safeguards.
Best practices
- Use mono-safe mode plus auto headroom for voice-forward or broadcast-style outputs.
- When troubleshooting, isolate left/right and test polarity inversion before committing exports.
- Review output peak and clip status across all files before final delivery.
- Keep QC reports for repeatable team handoff and revision tracking.
Common use cases
- Podcast and speech delivery — Prepare mono-safe outputs with headroom control.
- Stereo diagnostics — Verify channel balance, polarity, and swap behavior.
- Music prep — Generate M/S or Lo/Ro-style variants for mix checks.
- Batch QC — Run consistent routing settings across entire folders.
Why use this channel router
It combines channel conversion, safety controls, and QC reporting in one browser workflow so you can produce more reliable deliverables faster.
- LUFS meter — check loudness after channel routing
- Resample & bit depth — align rate/format for final delivery
- Audio normalizer — final output level control after routing
Processing runs entirely in your browser via in-browser media engine. Your files are not uploaded to our servers.
Frequently asked questions
When should I convert to mono?
Use mono for voice-first deliverables, phone playback checks, or when a platform or destination requires single-channel audio.
What does M/S mode do?
M/S encode converts stereo into Mid and Side channels for analysis or processing workflows. M/S decode converts that representation back to stereo.
