He's not aligning phase. He's rotating it. The reason is simple but kind of a long explanation. If you go to the part where he's showing the vocal you will see a white line in the middle of the analyzer. That line is called the zero crossing point. Above that line is positive voltage(amplitude)(speaker cone pushing out), and below is negative voltage(amplitude) (speaker cone pulling inwards). Phase rotation fixes asymmetrical waveforms, which is a wave form that sits predominately on one side of the zero crossing point. It fixes the waveform by centering the waveform more so that you get a more equal amplitude on both the positive and negative sides of the zero point crossing. This results a in a more symmetrical waveform which is ideal because the volume will be lower. You will get the same sound with more headroom. As he stated in the video, this will also make a compressor work less.
@ Thanks! I guess I don’t understand why it was so asymmetrical in the first place, I’ve never seen or heard of this being an issue before except in rare cases when people post online with really crazy asymmetrical waveforms because their software was glitching.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Neutron is not really a mixing aid. I think the promo is misleading here. Neutron just “beautifies” individual tracks but doesn't really mix them. Mixing is combining a multitude of tracks so they optimally blend. And this is not happening with this plugin. The closest it gets to proper mixing is the masking eq feature which is really useful, yet it can only juxtapose two tracks at a time. Other EQs do that too. Neutron is not in any way mixing the whole sum of the tracks in the mix and that's puzzling.
A very useful and informative video (and some amazing music too!) ☺️
Thanks, well done!
I just wished the production suite update was $100 and not $200
10:07 can you set different external sidechain inputs per EQ band?
I liked the video just cause are the goofy smile he made right at the beginning 😂😂😂 love the energy
Why would your VO need phase alignment?

What DAW are you using?
that's ableton.
@jbornhoft thanks 😊
@@jbornhoft what? no, it's Studio One... It even says so in the top left corner
