As you may have gathered, MonoCheck is not 100% infallible.


Mono tracks may appear to be stereo under some circumstances, for example:

- If the tracks are not balanced, meaning that one track is constantly a bit louder than the other.

- If the tracks are not properly synced, meaning that one track is ever so slightly ahead of the other.

- If there is a momentary glitch in the soundtrack, that may throw MonoCheck off. If you notice such a glitch, turn Capture off and the on again to start a new sampling.


MonoCheck requires that the audio setup on your PC actually plays stereo tracks in stereo. If it down-mixes to mono, then obviously MonoCheck can't do anything useful.

I have not been able to test MonoCheck on audio setups that play more than 2 channels, for example a 5.1 setup.


Still, if you have a normal stereo setup, and MonoCheck determines that the sound is mono, then you can be quite certain that it is.

If MonoCheck suggests that it may be stereo, then you're pretty much back at square one - you'll have to depend on other sources, like the back cover.
