Using phaser effects

Phasers sound similar to chorus and flanger effects and are used in almost the same way. In phasers, a copy of the original sound is moved in and out of phase with the original. The focus of a phaser is to sweep frequencies across the spectrum.

When mixing, you want to place phaser effects before your delay and reverb effects in the signal chain.

Let's apply a phaser effect to an instrument:

1. Load up a sample or an instrument with notes and route it to a new Mixer track.
2. Add the Fruity Phaser effect. When you play your instrument, you will be able to hear a phaser effect:

   Figure 7.8 – Fruity Phaser

3. To hear examples of phaser effects, left-click on the default presets in the top right of the plugin.

The following is a description of the Fruity Phaser plugin controls:

• SWEEP FREQ. (short for frequency) sets the frequency of the low-frequency modulator.
• MIN DEPTH and MAX DEPTH choose the range for the phaser to sweep...
