Sound Radix has announced Auto-Align Post 2 improving the on the earlier plug-in’s ability to dynamically time-align boom and lav mic feeds to eliminate comb-filtering and phase anomalies caused by time-of-arrival differences. Auto-Align Post 2 takes a step further by introducing a new Spectral Phase correction module, bringing improved algorithms and UI, adding ARA2 support for compatible DAWs.
In an effort to deliver a clean recording from a location set, a recorder may engage a high-pass filter on the boom mic to filter out low-frequency rumbles such as street or AC noise. However, electronic high-pass filters induce a phase shift to the signal, which can result in a significant loss of low-end and ‘body’ of the dialogue when mixed with a non-filtered mic. The new Spectral Phase Correction module detects and dynamically corrects frequency-dependent phase shifts to achieve significantly improved spectral alignment and richer sound.
Auto-Align Post 2 also brings VST3 support for ARA2 DAW’s such as Nuendo and Studio One. The Spectral Correlation Meter [AAX] provides a detailed multi-band frequency correlation view. Auto-Align Post’s core algorithm has also been refined to deliver better overall results.
Key features:
- Microphones time-alignment of up to ±100ms or distances of up to ~112ft/~34m.
- Spectral Phase Correction Module corrects phase-shift caused by electronic and acoustic filters.
- Dynamic mode enables continuous phase/time correction for moving actors or cameras.
- Static mode enables fixed phase/time correction for stationary microphones
- Multichannel support.
- Spectral Phase Correlation Meter.
- Optimised for CPU efficiency and operation speed.
The price of Auto-Align Post 2 for new users is US$399, while the upgrade for current owners costs US$99.
