About Auto-Align 2

Auto-Align 2 is designed for stationary multi-microphone recordings, such as drum kits. It automatically corrects phase discrepancies between microphones and employs spectral phase optimization to address phase shifts caused by the recording chain, delivering a robust and well-defined sound. The integration of ARA2 ensures zero latency track-based processing, allowing the plugin to remain active during recording sessions. Processing occurs instantly upon playback, eliminating the need to manually capture audio, thereby enhancing workflow efficiency and achieving faster, more effective results.

About Auto-Align Post 2

In film production, managing a combination of moving and stationary microphones capturing the same scene is a common challenge. Auto-Align Post 2 addresses this by applying adaptive time alignment and spectral phase correction, preserving the authentic richness of dialogue. The incorporation of ARA2 enables non-destructive processing and introduces a track-focused edit window in Pro Tools, significantly enhancing workflow efficiency.
