Imager
Imager allows you to expand or reduce the stereo width of your audio in up to 4 bands. This way, you can independently adjust the stereo image in defined frequency domains.
- Bands
-
Sets the number of frequency bands.
- Live
-
If this button is activated, a more analog-style filter bank is used. This mode introduces no latency and is better suited for live performances. If this button is deactivated, a more neutral-sounding linear phase filter bank is used, at the cost of introducing latency.
- Frequency display
-
Shows a spectrum display and allows you to edit the band range and the output level for each band.
You can edit the output level of a band or the cutoff frequency between two bands by dragging the corresponding handle.
- Output meter
-
Shows the level of the overall output signal.
- Activate/Deactivate Band
-
Activates/Deactivates the corresponding frequency band.
- Solo Band
-
Solos the corresponding frequency band.
- Phase display
-
A phase scope for each band indicates the phase and amplitude relationship between the stereo channels. The phase scope works as follows:
-
A vertical line indicates a perfect mono signal (the left and right channels are the same).
-
A horizontal line indicates that the left channel is the same as the right, but with an inverse phase.
-
A fairly round shape indicates a well balanced stereo signal. If the shape leans to one side, there is more energy in the corresponding channel.
-
A perfect circle indicates a sine wave on one channel, and the same sine wave shifted by 45° on the other.
Generally, the more you can see a thread, the more bass is in the signal, and the more spray-like the display, the more high frequencies are in the signal.
The phase correlation meters below work as follows:
-
The vertical bar shows the current phase correlation.
-
With a mono signal, the meter shows +1, indicating that both channels are perfectly in phase.
-
If the meter shows -1, the two channels are the same, but one is inverted.
-
- Show/Hide Phase Scope
-
Shows/Hides the phase scopes and phase correlation meters for all bands.
- Width
-
Sets the stereo width for the corresponding band.
- Pan
-
Sets the left-right panning for the corresponding band.
- Output
-
Sets the output level for the corresponding band.
