Introducing Arx One to fix zOne.sk stereo phasing issue
Arx One can fix material and loops that lose mono compatibility by dividing them into 4 bands.
By using Voxengo's "Correlometer" introduced yesterday, it is possible to make mono compatibility only for specific frequency bands while visually confirming.
It is like this.
Overview
Mono compatibility.Should I be concerned?
This is important not only when playing music in mono, but also with stereo speakers.No speaker has a perfect stereo sound field.There is an ideal sound field at a certain distance and angle, but unlike headphones, sound does not enter the ear directly through speakers.Speakers are always summing audio, and basically you hear it in a state where monaural is broken.If you add head movement and rotation to it, the effect will be even greater.Also, don't forget that the subwoofer signal is always mono.
If the left and right channels are significantly out of phase, any element in the mix will play quite loud, and in the worst case, if the channels are completely out of phase, the element will sound completely dead when summed in mono. It may disappear.Also, out-of-phase audio introduces phasing and combing effects that don't sound very good.
Arx One is a tool for solving such problems.You can split the signal into four frequency bands and adjust them individually.You can adjust the pan of each band and select the source channel to use for output.Thanks to this individual band panning, Arx can also create stereo from a mono source.
Phase correlation problems in mixing often result in problems that cancel each other out, especially when different sounds are layered.But what if you just put one instrument down and played without layering or mixing and already have phase problems, especially in an ensemble?Many developers either don't modify the sample or want to trick your wallet with its huge and wide sound.Whatever the reason, I want to do something about it.
The most important question. Is it possible to use the Arx One to correct the phase without affecting the stereo width?
The answer is simple.you can't.No matter how you look at it, it's impossible. Arx is for adjusting sounds and normalizing stereo width.If you're only making music for headphone (binaural) listening, forget Arx.If you want a mono-compatible mix, Arx could be the tool for you.
Features
– 4 adjustable frequency bands
– Left, right, or stereo inputs for each band
– Solo preview for each band
– Audio rotation
– Dual master panning, left and right channels can be panned independently
– The dual master does not pan the low frequencies, so the bass is always mono.
– Bypass processing for comparison with original sound (press X on ARX logo)
– Phase trace function allows you to check phase correlation.
Version 1.1
– Fixed issue with high CPU usage when Phase Tracing is enabled.
– Added an option to change the number of frames per second in Phase Trace.
– Improved visual feedback for bypassing.

Installation
The installation is compatible with VST3, so if you unzip and put "ArX (64).vst3" into the following folder, you're done.
C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ VST3
Summary
It's good that there are many plug-ins that can't be underestimated even though zOne.sk is free.
He has other ideas and is working on a new plugin.
However, since it is not his main business, he does not know when the release will be.
