Sound Radix has recently released Auto-Align 2.1, an innovative tool for audio alignment that promises to enhance the audio production process by offering improved precision and productivity.

Auto-Align 2.1 improves the sound quality captured by microphones by eliminating comb-filtering, reducing the blurring of transients, and optimizing the phase of each microphone. This new version also enhances the alignment process by introducing a faster workflow, a new module for correcting spectral phase, an improved algorithm, and a user-friendly interface.

Improved Efficiency

The latest edition of Auto-Align aims to enhance your work process. By simply clicking once, Auto-Align 2.1 is capable of aligning all your microphones in one go. This innovative characteristic not only saves you precious time but also guarantees precise synchronization and alignment of your audio, leading to better clarity, dimension, and stereo effect.

The Spectral Phase Optimization feature in Auto-Align 2.1 is designed to fix any phase shifts that may occur within certain frequency ranges. This helps to improve the overall coherence and quality of the audio signal, making it sound more rich and balanced. When filters are applied during the recording process, it is common for different frequency bands to experience different phase shifts, which can result in a distorted and unclear sound. With Spectral Phase Optimization, these phase shifts are automatically identified and corrected, guaranteeing that your audio is properly aligned and sounding its absolute best.

The updated version of the software features enhancements to its core algorithm, the option to enable or disable group time alignment, track-based spectral phase optimization, four preset locations for convenient comparison of various configurations, and the capability to export/import alignment settings to enhance workflow efficiency across multiple projects.

Auto-Align 2.1 has received positive feedback from experts in the industry. Greg Wurth, a renowned producer, mixer, and engineer who has won multiple platinum awards, expresses amazement at the capabilities of Auto-Align 2 on various instruments such as drums, bass, and guitar. Additionally, Darrell Thorp, a highly accomplished engineer with 10 GRAMMY wins, incorporates Auto-Align 2 into his drum plug-in chain for every new mix or song he works on.

This software can be used on macOS 10.9 or any newer version, as long as the device has a 64-bit Intel CPU or Apple Silicon.
