Phase Scope |
|
You can display a phase scope in the Channel Meters window, Hardware Meters window, and Record dialog to find phase cancellation among the channels in an audio file.
Right-click the meters and choose Show Phase Scope from the shortcut menu to toggle the display of the phase scope.
To change the display, right-click the meters, choose Phase Scope Style from the shortcut menu, and then choose a setting from the submenu:

Description | ||||||||
|
Lissajous – XY Plot |
Displays the right and left channels plotted along the X and Y axes of the graph. For these sample images, a stereo file with simple sine waves was used to provide a crisp line. When viewing typical audio, the lines will be more diffused.
| ||||||||
|
Lissajous – Rotated |
Displays the right and left channels plotted along the X and Y axes of the graph. This setting is identical to the Lissajous – XY Plot setting, but the graph is rotated 45 degrees. For these sample images, a stereo file with simple sine waves was used to provide a crisp line. When viewing typical audio, the lines will be more diffused.

|
Polar – Linear Plot |
Displays the right and left channels plotted vertically on the graph. For these sample images, a stereo file with simple sine waves was used to provide a crisp line. When viewing typical audio, the lines will be more diffused.

|
Polar – Circular Plot |
Displays the right and left channels plotted on a circular graph. For these sample images, a stereo file with simple sine waves was used to provide a crisp line. When viewing typical audio, the lines will be more diffused.
