Re: Phase align subs to mains
I think it's worth taking a Smaart class from Rational, that's the best way to learn how to use their tools.
You say 'phase align', so why are you solely looking at an IR? You have to look at the phase response! I don't even bother with impulse response when aligning subs / mains.
You're going to want to do the alignment at the crossover point, where the boxes have significant overlap. There's no sense in aligning the two components where they're only being used individually.
In short, you're just going to take a look at the phase response of each, and add delay until they match at your crossover frequency.
Delay could be added as 'delay', or as a part of your crossover filters. Also note that your EQ filters will affect the phase response as well, so you're best off tuning the box before aligning to your mains.
