How to get better mixes with InPhase; good phase = great mix!

The SECRET to top mixes is having good phase relationships!
Phase is the mother of all things audio.
The moment you have two elements playing back at the same time, there's always a possibility of phase issues.
Assuring that your tracks are in phase is a good start to having a full, rich and PHAT sound.
A simple explication:
If one sound is producing a frequency, and another sound is producing the same they will both be fighting to push the speaker (of your monitors or headphones) out or in.
Having a good phase relationship between those sounds will make them work together as a TEAM. While having a BAD phase relationship will make them fight - one sound is pulling the speaker in while the other is trying to push it out.

    I'm struggling to get that depth and "radio ready" sound. I'm balancing frequencies with separating, panning, saturation etc etc. What more is important? Maybe lower the faders more before mastering?

    Hello, I want to bring the blue line on the correlation meter closer to 1 but it gets stuck around 0.52. Why isn't there a stronger correlation?

    I have a question bro. Do I have to check correlation meter each individual instrument channel?' (I guess its no necessary. but im not sure) But when I monitoring the tine EP (classic module FM sound), Too low (almost -1) in the correlation meter Should I fix it up to heading to +1? or Just Do i dont need to care about it?

    Total beginner here. I feel I have trouble getting a good recording simultaneously recording acoustic guitar and voice. There’s obviously bleed. Could phase be the issue?

    Phase could absolutely be an issue! Try flipping the polarity on your vocal microphone to see if one sounds better than the other. When in doubt you can zoom into the waveforms and see if things line up, or use InPhase to line it up manually!

    You can align them in time as a whole, but not individually stretching like Vocalign or Revoice! This is more geared towards moving the source in small increments to align the phase.

    My initial reaction is that probably there is too much information that it wouldn’t be able to do a proper analysis. But there’s only one way to find out, give it a shot and see if it makes it better.

    If you use multiple basses for example, it’s wise to see that your two basses are in phase.

    If you "create" electronic music, you're using multiple kick samples. So yes, this is useful. What a dumb question, you should get out of the way of people that are trying to be successful.

    Spoken like a true rookie. Care about correlation if you want your transients to not be smeared, if you don’t want thin kicks and anemic low end, and if you want definition and separation in your mix.
