Spectral Phase Display, with audio moving from out-of-phase (at top and bottom) to in-phase (at center)
For maximum precision, use Spectral Phase Display in conjunction with the Phase Analysis panel. (See "Analyze
phase" on page 91.) For example, if you see a lot of inverse phase information in the Phase Analysis panel, you can
use Spectral Phase Display to find out exactly where in time the out-of-phase audio is occurring.
To correct a phase problem, you can use the Effects > Invert command to inverse phase by 180˚ or the Center
Channel Extractor to extract audio with a certain phase relationship. For more information, see "Invert a waveform"
on page 87 and "Center Channel Extractor effect" on page 163.

Adjusting spectral displays
The Spectral Controls panel (Window > Spectral Controls) gives you precise control over how data is displayed in
Spectral Frequency Display, Spectral Pan Display, and Spectral Phase Display. By changing the color and display
settings, you can enhance different types of detail and better isolate artifacts.
The Spectral Controls panel lets you modify your display settings dynamically, so you can see your changes immedi-
ately in any of the spectral views. You can use one of the display presets or fine-tune the settings to your own speci-
fications. Customized settings can be saved as presets.
In the Spectral Controls panel, colors on the left side of the color spectrum represent low amplitudes, and those on
the right side represent high amplitudes. Color points let you precisely adjust the color range. You can also adjust the
color saturation and gamma.
