An A-symmetrical waveform can sound significantly different when the phase is reversed. Many voices, drums, brass and plucked strings produce an A-symmetrical waveform. (See at 7' 40")
Very interesting, I dont have noise assit plugin for my sound devices mix pre, but i will try switching the phase to test out my microphones as they use the Primo EM272, Ive watched a few of your videos and this is new terms for me as I've not come across this techncal side of audio before. I wonder if you can answer a question about buzzing on lavs mics? Sometimes when using two lav mics as a stereo pair, there is a mains hum, I even noticed this in my early days of testing various capsules with a Zoom H6, plugged into the plug in power socket, they seem to buzz/hum but when touched (the wires) it would go away, even when outdoors. Have you come across this before?
Thanks for your interest. Did you notice any difference when you flipped the phase of the Primo 272 ? It seems to be more noticeable on some voices but less on others.
@@delcanvideoproductions4895 I've not been able to find how to change it on my MixPre 6 II, I guess you need to buy a plug-in? I'd still like to try this, very interesting! Thank you for your reply
@@sr3d-microphones The Phase switch on the Mix Pre is on the channel fader screen. Press the fader knob and then the second dot to get to the second screen and Phase button is at the top right showing Normal or Invert.
@@delcanvideoproductions4895 Thanks very much, I will try this tomorrow when I'm back in the workshop! Ive had the MixPre for a little while but don't really know my way round the menu yet
@@delcanvideoproductions4895 Thank you I found the option, really quite easy! anyway, it did make a difference, but, when in stereo and switching the first channel it was deeper, then when switching the second channel to invert it thinned back out again, although I was using a true binaural microphone, so I'm not sure if this is only for binaural as Ive not checked it yet, or, it copuld be simply ion stereo it cancels out, both channels inverted sound like normal phasing, but only one channel it does make a big difference. When Ive more time I will play with this.
At 5:33 / 11:27 The sound is direct opposite of what you are sayin. Totally "Phase voodoo" rubbish. I both listen at your example in the studio on studio headphones and monitors (Dynaudio, Genelecs and PCMs). And by the way, the ploug in is not for making Hi-Fi sound, but for fast doku, interview etc. were you have to delevery as fast as possibly.
Yes, I have had to simulate the sound you would hear if you were listening to your own voice live through closed back headphones in order to illustrate the effect here. You will not normally notice much / any difference when phase is flipped if you are listening through monitor speakers because the sound waves will bounce around the room and arrive at your ears at different times so it is only really noticeable on headphones in my experience. Some voices produce a waveform which sounds more different when the phase is switched. Not everyone will hear the difference - so if you don't hear it it is not a problem !
@@delcanvideoproductions4895 So you had to "...simulate the sound you would hear if you were listening to your own voice live through closed back headphones in order to illustrate the effect here" to hear the low cut filter at 160 hz😂At 5:20 / 11:27 the deep frequency is damped when you press the HPF. You say the opposite. You homegrown gibberish shows you got imagination... But perhaps you should cut a little down on the weed.
@@m.i.andersen8167 Hello M.I. The simulation is not very good - just intended to give an impression of the inverse of what you would expect to hear. If you do not notice a difference when doing this and listening to your own voice live in closed back headphones it is not something you need to bother about.

It’s to do with signal polarity.. asymmetrical waveforms sound different on headphones depending on the polarity..
