Metering Tools 7<br />

You can use the Metering tools to analyze audio in a variety of ways. These utilities have<br />

no effect on the audio signal. They are simply used as diagnostic aids.<br />

This chapter covers the following:<br />

• Correlation Meter (p. 91)<br />

• MultiMeter (p. 91)<br />

• Surround MultiMeter (p. 96)<br />

• Tuner (p. 102)<br />

Correlation Meter<br />

The Correlation Meter displays the phase relationship of a stereo signal.<br />

• A correlation of +1 (the far right position) means that the left and right channels correlate<br />

100%—they are completely in phase.<br />

• A correlation of 0 (the c<strong>en</strong>ter position) indicates the widest permissible left/right<br />

diverg<strong>en</strong>ce, oft<strong>en</strong> audible as an extremely wide stereo effect.<br />

• Correlation values lower than 0 indicate that out-of-phase material is pres<strong>en</strong>t, which<br />

can lead to phase cancelations if the stereo signal is combined into a monaural signal.<br />

MultiMeter<br />

The MultiMeter provides a collection of professional gauge and analysis tools in a single<br />

window. It includes:<br />

• An Analyzer to view the level of each 1/3-octave frequ<strong>en</strong>cy band<br />

• A Goniometer for judging phase coher<strong>en</strong>cy in a stereo sound field<br />
