Audio Plug-Ins Guide360
The Surround Display generates a composite
image that indicates relative signal strength in
the displayed channels.
 A circle in the center of the display indicates a
surround signal that is panned equally to all
channels.
 An irregular shape that is closer to one side of
the display indicates that the channels on that
side have a stronger signal.
 A teardrop shape that points toward a single
channel indicates that the signal is panned to
that channel.
SignalTools PhaseScope
(TDM and RTAS)
PhaseScope is a multichannel metering plug-in
that provides signal level and phase information
for stereo tracks only. (Mono and LCR or greater
multichannel tracks are not supported.) This is
useful for troubleshooting phase problems and
for visualizing the stereo width of a track when
mixing.
SignalTools Lissajous Meter Display
The PhaseScope Lissajous Meter displays the re-
lationship between the amplitude and phase of a
stereo signal, enabling you to monitor stereo
imaging graphically.
The Lissajous Meter display is divided into four
quadrants, with left and right channels arranged
diagonally. When audio is panned predomi-
nantly to a particular speaker channel, a diago-
nal line appears, indicating the channel.
The Lissajous Meter displays in-phase material
as a vertical line and out-of-phase material as a
horizontal line.
PhaseScope plug-in
A “Lissajous curve” (also known as a Lissa-
jous figure or Bowditch curve) is a type of
graph that is able to describe complex har-
monic motion. To learn more, search the
Web or your local library for information on
its origins and its two principal developers,
Jules Antoine Lissajous and Nathaniel
Bowditch.
