Line up the kick and the bass
Shows how your bass lines up with the kick over 0 to 10 ms and finds the best delay and polarity with one click. Fuller low end without guessing.
Ableton Live 12 Suite, or Live 12 Standard with Max for Live. Windows and macOS.
Put it on your bass and choose the kick on the Input menu. The display shows how well the two line up for every delay from 0 to 10 ms. Click Auto and NM Phase picks the delay and polarity where the low end is fullest, or drag the curve yourself. Focus sets how low it listens.

NM Phase is part of the NU MOTION Max for Live Bundle, together with 19 more devices.
