There are several plugins that can mono-ize the master output. SWH's Matrix Spatializer should do the trick. Or I think Invada has a nice plugin.<br>
<br>
Once you've got the plugin inserted and set-up, you can just middle-mouse-click on the plugin to toggle it on and off. ( Kevin in the video didn't mention this)<br>
<br>
Ardour3 has a mono button for this purpose...<br>

There is just a text label that says "Width" with a number next to it and no obvious way to manipulate the number. At first I took the roundabout way and used automation to alter the value. Then I had my genius moment of the day and realized that right or left clicking on the number would increment the value (use a control or shift modifier for bigger increments). For some reason this plugin won't store presets but that's not a huge concern for me since there is only one value to change.<br>
