On the money as always!! Thank you for taking time to address all the nuances in regards to mixing. No body articulate in such a clean way! What do you suggest for vocal stacks? I use autotune on each individual stack and up to 8 vocal stacks, and i get the phasing issue on certain frequencies, and those frequencies pop out. I try to eq the stack as a whole, but to no avail. I’m pretty sure its because autotune is tuning each stack very similar. And my vocalist timing is pretty good when it comes to replicating her stacks. This is my struggle. Thanks!!

Thank you very much! I will answer this in more detail in a Patreon Q&A, probobly next weekend. But I would start by panning them opposite each other (2 at a time) and look at them in a correlation meter to check the phase correlation before and after autotune. That would tell you how much (if at all) autotune is messing with their phase relationship. Then adjust them with with PHA 979.

5:20 is that really pre-ringing or just ringing? I've been under the impression that minimum phase EQ does ring out when you boost like that, but the ringing doesn't precede the sound, it only comes after.

@AudioMountain777 5 ай бұрын

You're right, it's just ringing. I should have clarified pre and post ringing from good old ringing. Thanks!

Great video but i think this plugin Voxengo PHA-979 is not free or am i missing something.

@AudioMountain777 5 ай бұрын

It's free on the Voxengo website, but there's more features activated on the paid version, but the free version works fine. Thanks!

@@AudioMountain777okay i thought it was just a demo because in your video it kept going into demo mode.

@AudioMountain777 5 ай бұрын

It flashes that prompt on the free version. I like it a lot and I think I'm gonna get the paid version, which comes with a scalable GUI.

Thank you! I have recently noticed when using MIDI orchestral instruments in stereo, that they go in and out of phase. Now Im wondering if that is whats making the whole orchestration sound thin.

@AudioMountain777 2 ай бұрын

Could be, especially if you have steep high pass filters or multi band compression going. Have you tried bypassing all the plugins and see if it sounds fuller?

@corrosive135 2 ай бұрын

@AudioMountain777 it seems to be on the samples themselves. I'm using Spitfire's BBCSO. If I turn the mics to mono and turn the mix mic off in the plugin, the phase shift goes away.

@AudioMountain777 2 ай бұрын

Gotcha . It's hard for me to speculate without seeing it of course, but I'd be interested to hear how you resolve that issue. Did you try a sample delay adjustment or phase alignment? Thanks for sharing.

@corrosive135 2 ай бұрын

@AudioMountain777 I think I made a mountain out of a molehill (no pun intended 😄). It sample only ducks in and out occasionally, and sounds fine. Changing the phase just makes things worse. Thanks for your help and these great videos. I do have one question: is there a way to widen stereo without causing things to go out of phase?

@AudioMountain777 Ай бұрын

Mild stereo widening shouldn't cause significant phase issues as long as your low end is mono. If you keep everything below about 150hz in the center you shouldn't have problems. What are you using to widen the image? How bad is the phase discorrelation on the meter?
