Press a key. Hear what it does.
Every mix ends up somewhere you didn't mix it: a car, a phone speaker, one earbud. In the app, Signal Desk runs your track through those places. Tap a mode to engage it. Tap it again to A/B against the source.
Try them here on a real mix. Mono shows what collapses when the sides fold in. Phone Sim takes the low end away. Bass Mono, Width and Crossfeed change the image in your headphones.
