Auto-Align 2.1: A New Level of Efficiency in Audio Alignment and Phase Optimization

  • by

This is your current location. It is a software called Auto-Align 2.1 developed by Sound Rad

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

Auto-Align 2.1 enhances sound quality by eliminating the issue of comb-filtering, reducing the blurring of transients, and optimizing the phase of each microphone to accurately reproduce the captured sound. This updated version improves the alignment process by introducing a new module for spectral phase correction, refining the algorithm, and providing a user-friendly interface that is easier to navigate.

The updated Auto-Align software aims to make your work process more efficient. By simply clicking once, Auto-Align 2.1 can align all the microphones you have in one go. This innovative feature helps you save time and guarantees that your audio will be perfectly aligned in terms of timing and phase, leading to better clarity, size, and stereo image.

The Spectral Phase Optimization feature in Auto-Align 2.1 helps fix phase shifts that may happen within particular frequency ranges, resulting in a more cohesive and enhanced audio signal. When filters are used during recording, different frequency bands can undergo different phase shifts, which can cause the sound to become distorted and unclear. Spectral Phase Optimization detects and corrects these phase shifts automatically, guaranteeing that your audio is accurately aligned and delivering its highest quality.

The updated version of the software also comes with enhancements to its core algorithm, the option to enable or disable group time alignment, the ability to optimize spectral phase on a track basis, four pre-set locations for convenient comparison of various configurations, and the functionality to export/import alignment settings for a smoother workflow across different projects.

Auto-Align 2.1 has received positive feedback from experts in the industry. Greg Wurth, a highly acclaimed producer, mixer, and engineer, describes the impact of Auto-Align 2 on drums, bass, or guitar as extraordinary. Similarly, Darrell Thorp, a renowned engineer with 10 Grammy Awards, includes Auto-Align 2 in his drum plug-in chain for every new mix or song he begins.

The latest version of Auto-Align, which is 2.1, can be purchased for $199. It can be used on macOS 10.9 or later, as long as the computer has a 64-bit Intel CPU or Apple Silicon. For Windows users, a 64-bit Intel or AMD CPU and Windows 10 or newer are required. Auto-Align 2.1 is available as a plug-in in various formats, including AAX, Audio Unit, VST3, and ARA2.
