Little Labs phase alignment tool?
Anyone have any real world experience using one of these? From the description I read about them they seem like they are a little box sent from heaven. I'm thinking they would be great for a acoustic guitar player/singer. I would like to put the mics where they sound best and not worry about the laws of physics.
If they work like they claim they do I'm going to get IBP jr. Any negative side effects from using this little box I should know about? It just seems to easy.

Pay the extra scratch and get the regular version, because for not that much more you get a DI, line splitter and reamp along with the phase adj. I ended up sending my jr. back and getting the regular IBP box.
I know enough to know that I don't know what I am doing.

I'd also go for the regular version. Actually, I did and got two.
Here's an mp3 thread I posted at GS to give your ears an idea of what it does:

IME it works best to process the signal closest to the source (DI, or mic closer to the amp, etc).

How's the DI?Coco wrote:Pay the extra scratch and get the regular version, because for not that much more you get a DI, line splitter and reamp along with the phase adj.

DI is pretty rocking. It's better than, say, a Countryman IMO. You really do get a lot of bang out of the Sr. unit. The more you get and the more you share power supplies (with y cables), the better the price looks.Evergreen wrote:The regular version sounds like a good idea. i didn't know you could reamp with it. How's the DI?

When I'm doing distorted guitar, I sometimes find myself dialing it in 'wrong' slightly to give me more tone where I need it. The ? sounds less tight between the 2 sources, but can give me more dimension. The 1st time you use it, I suggest flipping the ?, swepping till it sounds thinest, then flipping the ? back to 'normal'. This seems to be the prefered way to get things tightest. Also, every now & then I find it's a hit or miss unit. Sometimes I'll hear something slightly out of phase and think "IBP to the rescue" and I just can't seem to get it to fix my problem not matter what setting I use. When I run into this stuff, time nudging usually helps.

Howdy,
For any DAW folks on the PC with issues of phase correcting tracks the PhaseBug VST plug is a cool tool. It allows fully varing phase +/- 180 degrees on any 2-channel .wav file.
Check it out (get it) at www.betabugsaudio.com. (Pssssst - and its free!)
Aloha and cheers,
