Phasing issues occur when two similar audio signals (usually from left and right stereo channels) are slightly delayed or out of phase with each other. This causes destructive interference - certain frequencies cancel out or sound hollow, especially when listening in mono.
This often happens due to:
-
Microphone misalignment during recording
-
Stereo effects with time delays
-
Mixing multiple takes without proper alignment
This tool analyzes stereo correlation and applies a minimal delay, mid/side processing, and a low-frequency cut on the side channel to reduce phasing artifacts and improve clarity.
