- Spectral phase compensation by frequency to reduce cancellations on drums, guitars, choirs, etc.
- Ultra-simple workflow: insert the plugin on each track, analyze, mix without complex routing.
- Transparent processing (delay + polarity inversion) and lifetime updates included.
What MAutoAlign Is For
MAutoAlign is a phase alignment plugin dedicated to multi-mic recordings. It synchronizes your tracks temporally and spectrally to restore attack, clarity, and a stable stereo image. Ideal for drum kits (overheads/close mics), amp + room guitars, pianos, acoustic ensembles, and live recordings, it prevents "phase cancellations" that dull the sound and complicate mixing.
Main Features
Automatic alignment and detection
The plugin instantly detects other instances, calculates optimal delays, and manages polarity inversions. No side-chain configuration or routing is needed: you save time right from tracking.
Frequency-based phase compensation
Beyond simple time shifting, the algorithm adjusts phase rotation in each band, compensating for differences due to 3D source position, microphones, preamps, or upstream processing. Then EQ without fear of misaligning your tracks.
Preserved audio quality
By default, no filtering is applied. MAutoAlign limits itself to precise delay and polarity inversion when necessary, ensuring a clean, punchy, and faithful result to the original take.
Productivity and control
Advanced interface, multi-parameters, MIDI learning, automatic gain compensation, and safety limiter facilitate integration into any production workflow, from pro studios to home studios.
