Sound Radix has recently released Auto-Align 2.1, an innovative tool designed to enhance and streamline the audio production process by providing a higher level of precision and productivity.
Auto-Align 2.1 improves the sound quality by reducing the negative effects of comb-filtering and transient smearing, and by optimizing the phase of each microphone. The updated version enhances the alignment process by speeding it up, introducing a new module for spectral phase correction, using a refined algorithm, and offering a more user-friendly interface.
The updated Auto-Align software aims to make your work process more efficient. With a simple click, Auto-Align 2.1 can automatically align all your microphones at once. This innovative feature saves you precious time and guarantees that your audio is accurately synchronized and phased, leading to enhanced clarity, dimension, and stereo effect.
The Spectral Phase Optimization feature in Auto-Align 2.1 helps to fix phase shifts that may happen within certain frequency ranges, resulting in an audio signal that sounds more cohesive and dynamic. Sometimes, when filters are used during recording, different frequency bands can experience different phase shifts, which can cause the sound to become distorted and unclear. Spectral Phase Optimization detects and fixes these phase shifts automatically, ensuring that your audio is perfectly aligned and sounds its absolute best.
The updated version also comes with enhanced core algorithm, the option to turn on or off group time alignment, optimizing spectral phase on a track basis, four preset locations for conveniently comparing different settings, and the capability to export/import alignment settings to make the workflow smoother across projects.
Auto-Align 2.1 has received positive feedback from experts in the industry. Greg Wurth, a highly accomplished producer, mixer, and engineer, expresses his amazement at the impact Auto-Align 2 can have on drums, bass, or guitar. Similarly, Darrell Thorp, a 10-time GRAMMY-winning engineer, incorporates Auto-Align 2 into his drum plug-in chain for every new mix or song he works on.
You can now purchase Auto-Align 2.1 for $199. This software is compatible with macOS 10.9 or above, and requires a 64-bit Intel CPU or Apple Silicon. For Windows users, it is compatible with 64-bit Intel or AMD CPUs and Windows 10 or above. Auto-Align 2.1 supports various plug-in formats, including AAX, Audio Unit, VST3, and ARA2.
