Hi guys I wanna get a plugin that lets me check if a track is in stereo or mono or inbetween as I make music on my headphones. Any to recommend? (preferably free or affordable.) Thanks!

This one doesn't say "stereo width" on the tin, but it's a quick way to get the Haas effect (psychoacoustic panning), that sort of creates the illusion of width. Hence the name:

Quick Haas

edit: nevermind, I didn't read the whole post. Sorry! I'll leave that link there anyway.

They have Utility that might just be the ticket

There's also JST's SideWidener. It was (maybe still is?) free in Computer Music Magazine.

A1 Stereo Control is fairly comprehensive.

If you want to isolate the mid and side components then Voxengo MSED does the job perfectly (and check out their other freebies while you're there).

I don't know about "checking". So many plugins here to choose from.
But since thread has this name. Which plugins increase stereo impression, width while keeping things OK or almost Ok in mono?

I believe last ones can measure amount of side signal.
