Re: unwanted phaser efect when recording ??? HELP !

You have another problem. You see where the left side of the blue waves, the waves seem to be hovering just above the 0.0 line? That would be bad. That's "DC Offset" and it will cause problems in editing later. You can get rid of DC offset with Effect > Normalize > Remove DC. Don't let Nor...

Re: How can I remove Chorus?

How can I remove them? You don't. Vocal Removal is a very simple arithmetic tool that removes anything in the exact dead center of a stereo show -- usually the lead vocal.
