Pop-Up Menus & Changing Values:

For most text-based readouts (meaning things that aren’t a number), like LFO

WaveShape etc, clicking on the readout with the mouse will display a popup menu. To

change a value in the popup, hold down the mouse button and drag to select the

desired value and let go. The selected entry will show up in the filed, or a new pop-up

window may appear depending on what you have selected.

Accessing PhaseMistress

Now that you know how to use knobs and pop-up menus, it’s time to actually use

PhaseMistress within Pro Tools. PhaseMistress is available to process your audio in

two different ways: Real-Time, or Non Real-time.

Real Time Processing (RTAS or HTDM)

As a real-time plug-in, PhaseMistress works a lot like a real hardware phaser.

Whatever sound goes into PhaseMistress, comes out filtered, and you can hear it as it

is happening (in real time!). Keep in mind that using PhaseMistress in this manner

always chews up some CPU processing power.

To use PhaseMistress in this way, you must first select PhaseMistress as one of the

insert devices within ProTools, by clicking on the inserts button on a track. You can do

this either from the edit or mix window in Pro Tools. From the inserts pop up, select

PhaseMistress: (one and two-band versions of PhaseMistress) as shown in the next

graphic…
