mibby Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 No brainer! Awesome plugin and one of my most used Melda's for mixing. The workflow for checking phase alignment of drums is second to none. 👍👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Maar Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) It's also great for mixing bass when combining mic'd amp and DI inputs. The first video uses MAutoAlign and the second uses InPhase by Waves, but now that I've been Waves-free for over two years, I use MAutoAlign exclusively. I installed precisely ZERO of my dozens of Waves plugins on my new laptop. Edited October 23, 2023 by John Maar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently picked up Fuse to check Phase Rotation and just now realized that MAutoAlign has done this for a long time now. Just like all the Melda plugins, if you're willing to dig a little, there's a whole lot more there than you expect! https://www.meldaproduction.com/MAutoAlign Quote Since version 11.02 MAutoAlign performs something previously unimaginable - it actually fixes the phase for each frequency in all tracks, if you ask it to. During the analysis it now not only estimates the ideal delays and polarity, but also the ideal phase rotation to minimize cancellations. This means it can compensate for phase differences caused by 3D nature of the instruments being recorded, by the microphones and other recording equipment, and even processing you perform before MAutoAlign. So now you can actually equalize the tracks without worrying about phase cancellations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 My go-to plugin when I use multiple kicks. I like to use the Drumbrute Impact alongside the TR-8S which almost always gives some phase cancelation. You can fix some with just changing the polarity, but this works great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 how does this compare to Mastering the Mix Fuser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibby Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 I used Fuser on my last mix just for the phase rotation and it worked great on a kick. I didn't try MAA for a side by side. But if it works as marketed, MAA would win with workflow. The side chain thing with Fuser is a little clunky, but it can do a lot more than MAA, so I wouldn't really consider it an apples to apples comparison.
