Phase-Oscillo
This plug-in combines a phase meter and a X/Y oscilloscope.
Note: Phase-Oscillo cannot be used in a mono strip. Attempting to do so will result in an error
message.
The phase meter displays the phase of a stereo signal within the range of -1 to +1. a value of +1 means that the left
and right channel are completely in phase. A value of
-1 means that the left and right channel are completely out
of phase causing complete cancellation when they would be summed into a mono signal. A good stereo mix
should be somewhere in between
0 and +1.
The basic oscilloscope gives you some information about the stereophony and the phasing of a stereo signal. A
signal which is completely mono appears as a vertical line. If only the right channel carries a signal, it is displayed
as a straight line at a 45° angle from the bottom left to the top right. If only the left channel carries a signal, it is dis-
played as a straight line at a 45° angle from the bottom right to the top left. If the left and right channel are out of
phase, this would result in a horizontal line.
A decent stereo mix would appear as a vertically shaped cloud as shown in the example below:
