Check Phase.
Fix Alignment.
Calculate phase shift from frequency and delay, convert milliseconds to samples, estimate wavelength, and understand whether two signals are likely to reinforce, cancel, or comb filter.
Enter Delay.
Enter Frequency.
Use this tool to calculate how far a signal is shifted in phase at a specific frequency. It is useful for drums, layered 808s, bass, stereo widening, vocal doubles, and mic alignment.
Phase Shift
& Alignment.
This is a quarter-cycle shift. It may create tone changes or partial comb filtering depending on how similar the two signals are.
Use your ears, polarity flip, sample nudging, and mono checks. Phase math is a guide, not a replacement for listening.
More Punch.
Less Cancellation.
Phase problems can make drums weaker, bass thinner, vocals hollow, and stereo effects disappear in mono. Use this calculator to understand the timing relationship between layered sounds.
Kick + 808
Check low-frequency timing so the kick and 808 reinforce instead of fighting each other.
Drum Mics
Use delay and phase math to understand overhead, snare, room, and close mic alignment.
Vocal Doubles
Small delays can make doubles wider, but too much similarity can create hollow comb filtering.
Mono Checks
Collapse to mono to hear if stereo width, effects, or layered sounds lose body and impact.
