From Wikipedia.
A goniometer is often included in analog audio equipment to display the amount of stereo (that is, phase differences) in a dual-channel signal. It allows the sound technician to adjust for optimal stereo and determine the makeup of errors such as an inverted signal. Many goniometers also provide a VU or PPM meter as a secondary function. It is also called a 'jellyfish' in some countries.

cheers kinda understand..
i have read that before.
but the reason i asked was because i wasnt exactly sure like i get it shows left right middle. as per L M R on logic.
but not to sure about the phase inversion and all that talk.. |

| Basically it is going to show you the stereo width of your track. As a general guideline, you want it to look like an upright football. Not too wide, but not too mono. |

cheers :)
do many of you use one at all ? |

| Yeah, I have one up along with my spectrum analyzer and waveform analyzer. I don't reference it too much, though. Never really had much problem with phase issues and stereo width. |

Doesn't the multimeter in Logic have one at the bottom.
Correct me if I'm wrong but basically if the meter is too far to one side, the signal will to a large extent, disappear when mono'd?
When you say football - you mean american football right? ;) |

I think so. I dont use the Logic one, I have a PC version on my other computer that I use.

I have never seen it do that. The one I use has a little vertical meter in addition to the goniometer that shows phase inversion.

you want it to look like an american football upright before a kickoff.
