Overview

Little Labs® IBP Phase Alignment Tool Plug-In

In-Between Phase Alignment “Fix-It” Tool & Creative Phase Manipulation Plug-In

The Little Labs IBP Phase Alignment Tool easily eliminates the undesirable hollow comb-filtered sound when combining out-of-phase and partially out-of-phase audio signals. Designed as a phase problem-solving device, the award-winning Little Labs IBP (In-Between Phase) has established itself with audio engineers as not only a “fix it” tool, but as a tool for manipulating audio phase as a creative, tonal color tool. Whether combining direct and miked signals, acoustic guitar and vocal mics, drum kit mics, or multiple split-guitar amps, the recorded audio signal phase can be quickly and easily controlled. UA’s “Workstation” version expands upon the original design with a continuous Delay Adjust control.

Features include the all-important 0º through 180º “in-between-phase” continuous control, with a 0º through 90º option for finer control. Also included is the “Phase Center” high and low position filter switch that adds additional frequency-dependent control over the phase-adjusted source. A standard 0º/180º Phase Invert switch is included, as well as individual bypass switches for the Phase Adjust and Delay Adjust sections of the circuit. Lastly, a Power switch is provided to bypass the whole plug-in.

    "Having the software version [of the Little Labs IBP] has made me wonder how I ever got by without it all these years."

    "I never thought the UAD Little Labs IBP would have such an impact on the sound, but by carefully tweaking the delay and phase controls, I was able to get a bigger and much more powerful sound."

    "A tool unlike any other in your kit. I absolutely love my hardware IBP & I can’t recommend the plug-in highly enough."

    by T. Abrigo (Friday 28 December, 2012)

    I record in a very small studio where sometimes my mic placement has to be very creative...hahaha. The little labs helps me dial in the little discrepancies in the mic phase and makes every vocal and instrumental nuance glow. I am able to get separation where i had muddiness. Thanks Universal Au … Read More

    This is a must!
    by B. Lederer (Wednesday 17 April, 2013)

    This thing is just plain simple but still a musthave plugg! I just did an album and used it on the Kickdrumtrack - and I wondered how I did it before! You´ll hear the phasey spectrum and you´ll get a clear image, when you´ll achieve the right setting. Simple and Stunning! Thanx UA … Read More
