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.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.”

Lifesaver!!
A true lifesaver when dealing with multiple mics on a single sound source! Gone are the days of moving a mic 2mm at a time to find the perfect phase correlation.

Amazing texture, game changer.

Not sure how it works yet
I love the idea when I hear it, making it a time saving step for me before manually moving it to fit the area I need it

Can't fool the ears...
Most alignment software is centric on you manually aligning and phase correcting two signals. This is different in that you are listening for the difference instead of watching two wavelengths.
There are benefits to each and the bottom line, for me, is that you are using this tool to achieve a sound. Fine tuning an end sound is the function of this device. At first, it kinda went against my expectations of an alignment tool, but what good is a visual pairing of two wavelengths if you are going to tweak them from there for the optimal sound? This really saves a step.C. Knight

Y. Jaecques
So worth the money!
One of the best plugins on the ua platform!
Z. Mo
Underrated
Must have or equivalent .... does the job with not stress , the type of tools that are fast , simple but have the biggest impact in mixes as soon as someone understand how crucial phase isses are (easily 80 % of eq fights people are doing post)
UAD User
good job
precision and very usefull
P. Wahlund
Handy lil tool
This is not one of those products that will blow your mind with a gazillion whistles and bells but one of those you are very happy to have in your toolbox when working with multiple mics. I have used it on a drumkit, guitar amps and acoustic guitar so far and it does what it is supposed to do. Far better than just a phase inverse switch and it helps me to get a drum kit that sounds natural and big with a minimum of phase cancelation
