Time Alignment
Adjusts playback timing by a small amount, useful when you want to compensate for speaker distance differences or tune how the sound arrives at your listening position.
When to Use
- Compensating for small distance differences between speakers and your listening position
- Fine-tuning the timing of channels routed through this plugin
- Checking whether a small delay makes the stereo image feel more stable or natural
Parameters
- Delay - Controls the delay time applied to the channels routed through this plugin (0 to 100 ms)
- 0 ms: No delay
- Small values: Useful for compensating tiny arrival-time differences between speakers
- Higher values: Creates a more noticeable timing shift
Recommended Uses
- Speaker Distance Compensation
- Add a small delay when one speaker or channel arrives earlier at the listening position
- Adjust in small steps while listening to centered vocals or other focused sounds
- Listening Position Fine-Tuning
- Try very small values first
- Stop when the center image feels stable and the sound remains natural
Remember: The goal is to enhance your listening enjoyment. Experiment with the controls to find sounds that add interest and depth to your favorite music without overpowering it.
