PHIXER – Free Stereo Phase-Repair Audio Plugin (VST3 / CLAP / AU)
Overview
PHIXER by Riverflux Audio is a free cross-platform stereo phase-repair plugin (Win/Mac/Linux) that uses frequency-aware phase rotation to eliminate low-end hollowout and preserve mix body when stereo audio folds down to mono.
Key Features
- Frequency-Aware Phase Rotation: Targets specific cancellation bands to eliminate left/right phase fights without destroying the stereo image.
- Mono-Fold Protection: Restores lost low-end punch and midrange body when tracks are summed to mono on phones, earbuds, and club systems.
- Targeted Post-Alignment Utility: Designed to follow fundamental polarity and timing steps, resolving complex frequency-dependent phase issues.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux in standard VST3, CLAP, and Audio Unit (AU) formats.
- Low CPU Overhead: Clean, responsive DSP processing optimized for complex multi-track DAW mixing sessions.
How to Use PHIXER
- Verify basic polarity and manual time alignment on your source stereo tracks.
- Insert PHIXER on problematic stereo channels, instrument buses, or podcast music beds.
- Engage mono monitoring in your DAW to identify frequency hollowout zones.
- Adjust frequency-aware rotation until low-end punch and tonal body are restored.
