alexwnbrg Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hey all! I'm pretty new to mixing, so please forgive this, most likely, very basic and obvious question. I threw a phase correlation plugin on the stereo bus and have been checking it every so often while mixing to make sure everything is staying in phase. I've never seen it go in the red, although sometimes, it will be very far to the right, and then will completely disappear. It almost seems like it's going further to the right than the meter actually shows. Is this normal? Is that what is actually happening, or is that telling me there are some issues that need to be addressed? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Why are you using it if you don't know what it tells you? +1 means you have a mono (no phasing at all) signal. Waiting for Fuzzfilth to correct me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwnbrg Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 I know that +1 means I have no phasing. What I'm asking is what it means when the meter completely disappears during playback. I've scoured forums and videos, but never seen anybody else run into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwnbrg Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 It will be over near +1 and then completely disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eriksimon Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Insert a Gain plugin on your stereo out, click the mono button and see what happens. But also: HEAR what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwnbrg Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 That is something I also do as practice. Still just want to know what it means when the meter disappears during playback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Eriksimon Posted October 6, 2020 Solution Share Posted October 6, 2020 It is just how this meter behaves: a correlation of +1 ("perfect" mono), nothing to display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexwnbrg Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Got it. Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
