Phase Rotate

Description

x42-phaserotate is a DAW plugin that rotates the phase of an audio signal by ±180 degrees, shifting different frequency components by varying amounts. Unlike time shifting, phase shifting involves relative delays, resulting in frequency-dependent phase changes. Despite not altering perceived loudness, phase rotation impacts waveform shape and digital peak location. It is used in broadcasting and mastering to reduce signal peaks and increase headroom for further gain and compression, though it can affect transient response and pre-ringing in a similar manner to linear-phase equalization....
