7. ass filters to correct phasing issues between tracks An allpass filter is a signal processing filter that affects only the phase not the amplitude of the frequency response of a signal A 1st order allpass filter is defined by the frequency at which the phase shift is exactly 909 a 2nd order filter is defined by the frequency at which the phase shift is 180 and by the rate of phase change hence its Q factor 1 4 Components WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plugins which we call components Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose the configuration best suited to your material InPhase includes the following components InPhase Mono InPhase Stereo InPhase LT Mono InPhase LT Stereo InPhase Live Mono InPhase Live Stereo InPhase Live LT Mono InPhase Live LT Stereo O O Oy lO O 1O 0 O Please note All components have 20 ms latency excluding Live components which have no latency Waves InPhase User Guide 4 Chapter 2 Quick Start Guide There are three basic ways to work with InPhase 1 Using InPhase to correct the phase relation between two mono tracks 2 Using InPhase to correct the phase relation between the left and right channels of a stereo track 3 Using InPhase to align a stereo track to a sidechain reference Detailed examples for each of the above scenarios are provided in the Appendix section of this manu
8. duct Overview InPhase is an innovative easy to use plugin that corrects phasing issues between tracks Phasing can occur throughout the production process e In recording when multiple signals are combined Like individual drum mics and overheads guitar amps and Dls and sources recorded with more than one microphone e In mixing when phasing issues that weren t addressed during recording need to be corrected e In mastering when the final stereo mix has phasing problems To help you restore phase coherence InPhase features high resolution dual waveform displays phase shift filters with adjustable frequency and Q and an intuitive correlation meter which shows you just how much your tracks are in or out of phase You can move your waveforms manually or using the delay control and even align them in Waves InPhase User Guide 3 relation to a sidechain input InPhase includes mono stereo and dedicated live components plus InPhase LT a simplified version that gives you easy access to creative phase manipulation Phasing can cause drops in volume and wreak havoc on your frequency response and stereo image InPhase gives you the power to get your tracks back on track 1 3 Concepts and Terminology Phasing is a phenomenon which occurs when two or more signals are summed together For this reason when discussing phasing issues we are always referring to the relationship between two or more signals InPhase uses allp
