Little Labs® IBP Phase Alignment Tool
-
Easily correct phase issues and creatively manipulate colors and textures.
The Little Labs IBP Phase Alignment Tool plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces lets you easily eliminate the undesirable hollow comb-filtered sound when combining out-of-phase and partially out-of-phase audio signals. Fully authenticated by Little Labs, the IBP Phase Alignment Tool plug-in is a “fix it” as well as a creative one, letting you tweak audio phase as a texture and tonal color.
Whether combining direct and miked signals, acoustic guitar and vocal mics, drum kit mics, or multiple split-guitar amps, the Little Labs IBP Phase Alignment Tool plug-in makes sure signal phase can be quickly and easily controlled and manipulated.Now You Can:
Eliminate phase issues with multi-mic setups, DI/mic combinations, and live-recorded material
Place mics where they sound best, rather than limited phase-coherent positions
Tweak with real time, continuously variable phase sweep between 0° and 180° with all “in between”
Use Phase Center switch for greater control of either low or high frequency sources
“The Little Labs IBP plug-in is a powerful tool ... it makes mixing so much easier.”

Simple but effective!
This little (!) plug in does a specific job in a very efficient manner. There are no complicated graphical GUI things to ponder over - just move the dials and listen - great for tweaking...

handy tool for phase aligning mics
I bought this tool for phase aligning a LDC mic with 2 phase aligned (XY) SDC mics to make tracking acoustic guitar and vocals more straight forward. Being able to manually adjust the phase...

Simple but effective!
This little (!) plug in does a specific job in a very efficient manner. There are no complicated graphical GUI things to ponder over - just move the dials and listen - great for tweaking multi-miked bvox etc when you haven't been as forensic as you could have been with mic phase during setup...inexpensive to boot!

handy tool for phase aligning mics
I bought this tool for phase aligning a LDC mic with 2 phase aligned (XY) SDC mics to make tracking acoustic guitar and vocals more straight forward. Being able to manually adjust the phase and hear the results in real time through the UAD console is great.

Tool to have, love it
I work in live with UAD console, very useful.
It remind me same tool in the SSL LIVE300 that I use very often. So cool for some strategic adjustment to make take the place of the signal.N. Dettenbach
nice handy tool...
...for phase alignment.
Have/had multiple solutions / plugins from other vendors for that too, but this is the most intuitive and fast workflow tool for me. The "lack" of waveform graphics is a "feature" to me, because i have to use my ears instead trusting any waveform stuff which is not working well in many cases / signals / lead me to "false" results.
By the UAD DSP/FPGA platform it works well "live" (during recording) too.D. Bylykbashi
Necessity
Simple and intuitive, visual spectrum would be nice!
j. Hudes
I own the hardware too! (for once!)
Really useful tool that I use it on EVERY session that has multiple microphones setup in them. It actually adds a delay control that the hardware doesn't have. For electric guitars, it can literally change everything! On a drum kit, you can get a little bit tighter sound if you spend a bit of time tweaking. It should be free with every Apollo! We're in 2019 and we're still limited to those old fashioned 180 phase buttons that consoles had back in the 60s! What's up with that?

"For when you phase problems"
a simple but useful tool to handle phase problems
D. Fries
Good for adjusting phase issues for room mic's, drums...
A new version should show the wav files so you can visually align them.

Phase problem solved
I never knew such a simple phase correction solution existed until I used the Little Labs IBP Phase Alignment Tool.
Thanks heapsT. Feswick
Excellent
An indispensable tool when you need it. Works perfectly!
G. Booker
Great tool
I often don't need a workshop tool like this, but when I do it's invaluable. Mostly drums, let me explain, I run 10 mic's and weed out what i don't need, and once in a while I get out of phase toms interfering with the OH's. When I dial in just the right amount of delay it's like a different kit, open and airy. For years I tried to ignore it, but after demoing this it was blatant and with a coupon or 2, I ordered it. I'm happy to say Phase issues are in my past. Thank You UAD!!!!

GOOD TOOL
gool tool. It can really bring that focus and punch. Very simple tool ,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 muddinessbut be sure to read the manual to really understand how it works and what it's doing.
D. Syder
Keep it in phase
Perfect for layering live kicks with samples. Perfect for getting live drum recordings aligned and hitting hard in phase. Have tried the alternative plugins - this is the most intuitive, simple, quick with the best results.
