Overview

Pi is an innovative, multi-channel phase interactions mixer plug-in engine for Mac and PC. Pi works to improve the summing of a DAW or a mixer. Pi dynamically minimizes frequency cancellations between instruments within the mix, improves mono compatibility and brings back the lost depth and focus lost when overlapping frequencies collide. Good phase relationships between mixer tracks are a key to a great sounding mix. Normally, where mixer channels are summed into a single stereo mix bus, instruments overlap and interact with each other across the frequency range and phase position. Often, a bass track could be temporarily out-of-phase with the kick or rhythm guitar tracks, and when summed into a mix, end up canceling each-other over the overlapping frequency range, causing a temporary “hole” in the low end . Similarly, a snare track could end up sounding thin in a mix when the toms’ resonance is out of phase with the snare. Enter Pi. Designed to enhance any mix, Pi dynamically rotates the phase of the individual mixer channels to achieve maximum phase correlation within the mix. Pi minimizes negative interaction and significantly improves the overall sound of the mix. Just drop Pi into the last insert slot of your DAW mixer channels and listen. Use any of the 64 groups to bind related instrument channels to enhance your mix even further.
