Phase Correlation Meter Node

1 min read

Phase correlation meter with horizontal or vertical bar display.

It compares the left and right channels and outputs a value from -1 to 1.

1 means correlated: left and right are identical. Values hovering around 0 to +1 usually indicate a healthy, wide stereo image.

0 means uncorrelated: left and right are different but not fighting each other.

–1 is anti-correlated or out of phase: left and right are opposites, audio has serious phase issues. If the meter frequently dips below 0, parts of your sound may disappear or weaken when summed to mono.
