LEAD Audio Phaser FilterUser Interface

The Phaser Audio filter makes the audio thinner or fuller. This distinctive sound is obtained by creating one or more notches in the frequency domain that eliminate sounds at the notch frequencies. Notches are created by filtering the signal, and mixing the filtered signal with the input signal. The flanger, a specific type of phasing, also makes use of notches. The property page is shown in the figure below:

Changes will be applied directly to the streaming media with the ability to set them permanently by selecting Apply or OK, or to abandon changes by selecting Cancel. Positioning the mouse pointer over a control displays general information for that control. The following table shows the controls and their descriptions:
