Hi,
I'm recording some synth parts here and then editing the waveforms. I noticed that the waveform goes negative before it goes positive. This is right when the synth first attacks. Does this mean that something is out of phase? Maybe the cable I used to record with? my preamp? what could it be?
Should I leave it as is or invert the phase on the audio file so that it first goes positive then negative
Negative Waveform with Synth Recordings
if it sounds OK, quit worrying.
Leave it.
If you are really paranoid, do what you say, try inverting the phase and see if that makes it "better". I somehow doubt you'll hear any change if you invert both channels at once.
Out of phase would be more like:
left channel sweep down
right channel sweeps up.
Leave it.

No, it's fine. It doesn't matter what way the signal begins.Beatport wrote:Hi,
