I am reading a book on studio tricks used to create bigger sounds in home
recording. One term mentioned is to dupe a track, and "flip the phase" of
the track. While I know what this meas technically, what does one do to
"flip the phase" on a digital recording? Is there a piece of hardware to
use, or should I try software, or what? Thanks.
My console has "phase invert" buttons on each channel. Most DAW systems
have something similar.
I will warn you that wide panning where you pan a track to one side and
an inverted version of the same track to the other side can give you a
very diffuse and airy sound, but when you play it back in mono it goes
away. Fun trick, but watch mono compatibility.
