Six pro phase-alignment plugins
Sound Radix Auto Align
2 This ‘point and shoot’ plugin is a handy way to do as its name suggests. Insert AutoAlign on the channel you want to align, pipe in a ‘reference’ sidechain signal, and it’ll then pull your signal in line with that reference. 1 A faithful software clone of Little Labs’ hardware InBetween Phase box, this simple but effective plugin for UAD-2 platforms allows you to adjust time delay and rotate phase in degrees.
MeldaProduction MAutoAlign
3 This auto-alignment tool is also easy to use: pop an instance of MAutoAlign on all channels, hit the Analyze button, and the plugin will intelligently match up the timings of them all for you to tweak further.
Eventide Precision Time Align
4 Need to shift the timing of a signal by a miniscule amount? Eventide have your back with this functional plugin. It allows you to shift time by a tiny 1/64th of a sample, and it constitutes a far quicker solution than moving audio around on your DAW’s timeline.
Waves InPhase
5 Available for purchase in both ‘regular’ and Live versions, Waves’ comprehensive phase correction plugin features a detailed phase-correlation meter, waveform view, sidechain input, gain balance and more.
Voxengo PHA-979
6 Voxengo’s utilitarian device lets you alter time delay and phase rotation for the left and right channels independently, as well as adjust the pan and mix of the side signal. It’s not flashy, but gets the job done quickly.
