Vertical = mono (Mid). Horizontal = opposing channels (Side). Dense areas indicate frequently occurring signal values.

Full-file scans reveal brief problematic passages. Negative values suggest possible cancellation on mono playback.

Full-file scan reports are available after successful analysis. Live microphone data is not saved.

Frequently asked questions

Why does a very wide mix sometimes lose volume in mono?

When channels differ in polarity or timing, averaging left and right can cancel some content. Mono level change estimates the loss from that arithmetic mean.

Does width percentage mean my mix is good or bad?

No. It measures the proportion of energy in the Side signal compared with Mid plus Side. Different productions and instruments call for different balances.

Will the analyzer upload or modify my file?

No. It reads and analyzes the file locally; listening modes modify only the preview signal. Exports contain measured values or a vectorscope image.

Why is microphone input unavailable?

The browser needs a secure context and explicit microphone permission. A mono microphone cannot reveal independent stereo channels.

Using Audio Phase Analyzer

Inspect complete-file stereo correlation, side-energy share and timeline behavior, compare listening-only monitor modes, and export measurements without changing the source audio.

Workflow

  1. Open supported audio and review complete-file metrics, envelopes and vectorscope
  2. compare stereo, mono, left or right monitoring and interpret undefined cases carefully
  3. export JSON, CSV or PNG summaries, or separately request microphone capture with permission.

Example

Compare a stereo recording’s correlation and side-energy timeline, audition the mono monitor, then export a report while keeping measurement summaries distinct from perceived width or quality.

Limits and data handling

Correlation and side-energy are diagnostics, not perceived width, quality scores, frequency-specific phase, LUFS or loudspeaker measurements. Silent or one-channel-energy cases can be undefined. Input is bounded at 80 MB and twelve minutes, subject to decoded memory. Microphone access requires consent; captured mic samples are not stored or included in exports. Monitoring does not alter the source.

FAQs

Does a high side-energy value mean the stereo image sounds wider or better?

Not necessarily. It is a signal statistic, not a perceptual width or quality score.

Are microphone samples included in exported reports?

No. Mic capture is not stored or exported; reports describe file analysis or generated measurements as supported.
