Pro Audio Phase Problem Solutions
Phase clashes during multi-track mixing can lead to audio hollowing out, which can be prevented in the following ways:
- Visual Inspection: Enable the "Phase Table" in the Audio Inspector, the red area indicates the conflicting frequencies to be adjusted.
- time alignment: Record material from multiple microphones with the same source and use the "Synchronized Clip" function to ensure that the waveforms start at the same point.
- EQ Processing: Apply "Match EQ" effect to conflicting tracks to automatically identify and reduce overlapping frequency bands.
- phase inversion: Select the problem track and check "Reverse Polarity" in the Audio Inspector to test the effect temporarily.
Workflow optimization recommendations:
Complex projects should start by assigning track types (dialog/music/sound effects) in the Character panel specification. It is recommended to perform Export > Audio Tracks as a separate audition check for each completed editing stage. The ultimate solution is to send the project to Logic Pro for professional mastering.
