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 audio 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
