WAVELAB
8 – 166 Metering
• With a mono signal, the meter would show +1, indicating that both channels are
perfectly in phase.
• Similarly, –1 indicates that the two channels are the same, but one is inverted.
• Generally, for a “good” mix, the meter should show a value between 0 and +1.
Unlike the main Phase “coil” meter, the Phase Correlation meter is also
available in “Analyse Selection” mode, showing an average value for the
selected range.
Making settings
To make settings for the Phase Scope, select “Settings” from the Options
pop-up menu, or click the “tool” icon. The dialog that appears contains
the following settings:
Spectrum meter (60 bands)
The Spectrum meter shows a continuous graphical representation of the
frequency spectrum, in the shape of a “bar diagram” with 60 frequency
bands (much like a simplified form of the FFT meter below).
Setting Description
Background Click this to change the background color.
Coil display Allows you to adjust the color for the grid and phase coil display.
Auto-size When Auto-size is activated, the display will be optimized so that the
size of the “shape” matches the window size.
Correlation display This is where you select colors for the elements in the Phase Correla-
tion meter display, and adjust the Peak hold time for the maximum and
minimum indicators.
Number of samples
to display
This setting affects the length of the phase coil, and hence the den-
sity of the display. For audio with high sample rates, you might want
to raise this value.
