Using TL EveryPhase
This section addresses some common scenarios
in which TL EveryPhase can be used during a
Pro Tools session.
Using Presets
TL EveryPhase ships with a wide selection of fac-
tory presets for different phaser sounds. The fol-
lowing should be noted when using presets:
• Presets which use the Envelope Detector
may need to have the Envelope Threshold,
Attack and Release adjusted appropriately
for the current audio signal.
• Some presets utilize the Side-Chain Input.
If necessary, ensure that you have a side-
chain input assigned, and adjust the Enve-
lope Detector to get the best results.
• Adjust the input and output levels appro-
priately for your track to avoid clipping.
Creating a Single Phased Sound
A single phased sound (one cycle of the phaser)
can be created using automation of the LFO
manual trigger.
To create a single phased sound:
1
Insert TL EveryPhase on a track.
2
Select an appropriate LFO Waveform, such as
Ramp.
3
Set the Rate to an appropriate value.
4
Enable the LFO Single trigger so the LFO will
only cycle once.
5
Select the Auto button at the top of the
TL EveryPhase plug-in window.
6
Add LFO Manual Trigger to the automation
list.
7
Set the Automation mode for the track to
Write or Touch.
8
Play the session
9
At the point where you wish phasing to start,
click on Manual Trigger to start the LFO. The au-
tomation for this action will be recorded onto
the track.
The Bypass and/or Depth controls can also be
automated to ensure TL EveryPhase does not ef-
fect any part of the sound except the specific
section required.
Creating a Gradual Phaser Effect
As an alternative to bypassing TL EveryPhase
when an effect isn’t needed, the Depth control
can be automated to introduce and fade out
TL EveryPhase on a track as required.
Manually Automating Triggers
TL EveryPhase offers Beat Clock triggers which
allow you to trigger the LFO on bars and beats. If
you want the phasing effect of TL EveryPhase to
match an irregular sound (such as a guitar lead
that doesn’t fall on a specific beat), manually au-
tomating the LFO Manual Trigger provides an
alternative.
You can manually automate the LFO to trigger
at specific points in the session in a similar fash-
ion to that described above. The following
screenshot shows a guitar track with automa-
tion of the LFO Manual Trigger at points which
match key phrases in the guitar playing.
