Actually this is rather interesting. IF absolute phase is audible on normal music, there must be a reason that is to do with something in the replay chain. I don't believe that it is an empirical constant, simply because there is no "correct" absolute phase on 99.99% of recordings. So, if it's nothing to do with the music itself, it must be a non-linearity in the replay chain.
There is certainly no apparent difference when recording - the phase reversal switch on mic pre-amps/desks is used for specific technical reasons - OK and sometimes for creative reasons - but these are to do with combining multiple mics/tracks. I've never heard any difference to the sound being recorded from a single mic onto a single track when switching phase. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
