NUGEN Audio - Aligner

Aligner is NUGEN Audio's automatic phase and polarity alignment tool. Record one source with more than one microphone and the signals rarely arrive at exactly the same moment, which can leave a kick, snare or guitar sounding thin and weak. Aligner finds the offset and fixes it for you.

Why it matters

Mic distance and placement put tracks slightly out of time with each other. Often you can't hear it as a delay, only as a loss of body when the tracks are combined. Aligner detects the time and polarity differences between tracks and lines them up, so the low end comes back and the sound gets its weight again, without nudging regions by hand or flipping polarity switches and hoping.

Where it fits

Drum kits with close mics and overheads, guitar cabinets with two mics or a mic and a DI, bass DI and amp, and layered samples that sound oddly hollow together. A real time-saver in any session with live recording.
