Precision Time Align

Eventide

Where to get itAvailable from Eventidestore.eventideaudio.com

Precision Time Align is a time-shifting utility designed to synchronize multiple tracks to microsecond accuracy, correcting phase cancellations from multi-microphone recordings or signals with relative delays. It features phase inversion, negative delay capability, and dual-level precision controls (Coarse and Fine Adjust sliders) to achieve sub-sample alignment—down to 1/64th of a sample—making it ideal for aligning close and far microphones, compensating for distance-based phasing, and creating perfectly synchronized doubled tracks.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

01Phase Invert button for reversing signal polarity
02Delay range from -10.1 ms to 10.1 ms with negative delay support
03Coarse Adjust slider for rapid general timing shifts
04Fine Adjust slider for microsecond-level tuning (-100 to 100 µs)
05Distance entry in feet/inches (±11 ft 4.5 in) or meters (±3.47 m)
06Sub-sample accuracy to 1/64th of a sample via oversampling
07Sample-based delay adjustment in 1/64 sample increments across 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz

Things to Try

  • 01Invert the Phase, then use Coarse Adjust to sweep for maximum cancellation (highest frequency flange sound), then Fine Adjust to dial in the exact point of maximum cancellation
  • 02With Phase Invert off, use Coarse Adjust to find the highest frequency flange for least signal cancellation (loudest signal), then Fine Adjust to perfect the blend
  • 03Enter the distance between microphones directly in the Distance field (feet/inches or meters) as a starting point, then fine-tune by ear with the sliders
  • 04Un-invert the Phase after achieving maximum cancellation to hear the blended result, then adjust relative track levels or continue using Fine Adjust for your desired sound
