See Effect Tab for more information.

Creating a Phase Effect

Use the Phaser to create a phase effect, which is produced by splitting an audio

signal and then filtering it by shifting the signal's phase to and from the audio's

frequency. This modified (wet) audio signal is then mixed back together with the

original (dry) audio, giving the audio a watery or sweeping sound.

To add a phase effect to audio, do this:

1. Select the media file in the library that you want to apply the phase effect to.

2. If required, use range selection to select the portion of an audio file you want

to apply the effect to. See Range Selection for more information on selecting

a range of an audio file. If you don't select a range, the effect is applied to the

entire audio clip.

Note: the entire audio file's waveform is selected by default when this feature is

opened. If you want to apply this feature to the entire audio file, you do not need to

use range selection when the entire waveform is selected.

3. Decide whether you want to apply the effect on all the available channels, or

just one channel. See Selecting Channels for Editing for more information on

selecting channels.

4. Click Phaser under the Apply Effect section.

5. Select a phaser preset from the Presets drop-down. Select the preset that best

suits the sound you want to achieve.

6. If required, click to modify the advanced settings as follows:

Stage count: from the drop-down, select the number of stages, or phase

shifting filters, that are applied to the audio signal. The more stages you

select, the more dense sounding the phase effect will be.

Delay depth: use the slider to set how much the filters sweep below the
