| Post subject: | Azimuth Correction Damaging At Least One Track |
I was listening to my stream this morning on a mono speaker and heard terrible phase issues on Prince's "When Doves Cry." I assumed my file must have been damaged, but when I checked it summed perfectly to a bright crisp mono. I ran the file back through Stereo Tool and the problem returned. I looked at the Azimuth correction and could see it thought the azimuth was way off and it was doing significant "correction," resulting in a very muddy sound. I was able to A/B the azimuth correction on and off and hear it go from muddy to clear and back again. I process my files with Stereo Tool before putting on the air, so I don't yet know if it is a matter of using the azimuth correction on the file and then running the corrected file through the azimuth correction again but I will test this tonight. I'd never been aware of this before, but it's very concerning to me as many listeners are using the mono speaker on their phones to listen. I assumed the azimuth setting was always helping but now I am suspecting it may be causing damage at times, too. Do you recommend only using the setting to preprocess files that are obviously damaged, and A/Bing every file to see if it improves or worsens phase issues? I'll report back on the raw CD rip later tonight. |

CONFIRMED: raw track ripped from "Ultimate Prince" disc 1 2006 Warner Bros Records sends the azimuth corrector off the deep end, creating a muffled and out of phase mono signal. I've attached a file showing how far the azimuth is moving the line, and that I am using the default settings.
