A phaser shifts the phase of part of the sound and mixes it back in. Notches appear in the tone and glide up and down. It's softer than a flanger: less jet engine, more slow swirl.
It's the sound on a lot of 1970s electric piano and funk guitar. Two controls here: how fast the swirl turns and how strong it is.
How to use the Phaser Effect tool
- Add your audio file.
- Set the speed and strength.
- Apply the phaser and save the result.
Popular uses
- Electric piano, organ and clean guitar
- Adding movement to a static synth pad
- Dreamy or underwater-sounding voice effects
Tips for the best result
- Slow speeds around 0.3 to 0.6 Hz are the classic setting.
- High strength on a full mix can sound seasick. Use it on single instruments.
