Forget About Phase Problems: Meet Voxengo Correlometer
In today’s world of music production, where every nuance matters, phase problems can become a real headache. Even small desynchronizations or “out-of-phase” elements can ruin the clarity, punch, and stereo image of your mix, especially in the mid and high frequencies, which often go unnoticed during regular listening or broadband measurement.
What is Correlometer and why is it needed?
Voxengo Correlometer is not just another meter. It is an analog-style, multi-band stereo correlation meter designed to give you a deep understanding of the phase state of your mix in different frequency ranges. Unlike standard broadband meters, which only show the overall picture and can hide problems in individual bands, Correlometer breaks down the signal into spectral bands (from 4 to 64!) and shows the correlation (phase coherence) for each of them separately.
This detailed analysis allows you to easily identify and eliminate problems that might otherwise go unnoticed, especially in the mid-high range. The clarity and intelligibility of your mix will increase significantly when you can accurately see where phase conflicts are hiding.
Practical application of Correlometer
In addition to checking the final mix, Correlometer is an extremely powerful tool for phase and time alignment of individual tracks. Here are some examples of where it will come in handy:
- Aligning a bass guitar and kick drum pair for maximum punch and density in the low frequencies.
- Matching the microphone signal and D.I. (line) signal when recording a guitar.
- Aligning channels when working with stereo recordings made with two microphones to obtain an accurate and wide stereo base.
- Analyzing and correcting the phase of any other track pairs where their time and phase coherence is important.
Key features of Voxengo Correlometer:
- Multi-band correlation meter: from 4 to 64 separate spectral bands for detailed analysis.
- Adjustable band quality factor: allows you to customize the selectivity of the bands.
- Adjustable averaging time: adjust the sensitivity of the meter to rapid changes.
- Sidechain input: easily measure the correlation between two separate audio tracks.
- Scalable user interface: convenient operation on any monitor.
- Support for all sample rates.
- Zero signal processing delay.
- User interface color schemes.
- Support for Retina and HighDPI displays.
Available in VST, AU, and AAX formats for Windows (32/64 bit) and macOS. Voxengo Correlometer is an indispensable tool for mix engineers who strive to achieve maximum clarity, focus, and professional sound in their tracks.
Bring precision and control to your workflow. Forget about guessing about the phase – use Correlometer for a crystal clear and powerful mix!
