Phase Cancellation - AVOID These MISTAKES!

What is phase cancellation? Understanding phase and polarity of waveforms in mixing can make the difference between a mix with clarity and punch and a mix that's muddy and unclear. To avoid introducing unwanted silence into your sounds, particularly when layering samples, try the techniques in this video. Let us know in the comments how you go about minimising phase cancellation.

obligatory comment to remind the algorithm to promote tutorial vids that are actually useful 😃 many thanks for sharing this, good info.

You are The Best, Becky Saif! I completely, fully understand phase cancellation now. Fabulous examples to drive points home. Very well presented! Thank you.

oh! Amazing to hear. So glad you are able to fully understand after watching my video. Means so much 🥰🥰

Great explanation! Potential phase cancellation in sub frequencies is one reason I don't tune percussion to the key. I know you're aware of this one, but phase cancellation can be done deliberately to perform a null test which determines the level of difference, if any, between two pieces of audio. Finally, there's the classic tip of checking your mix in mono to reveal stereo phasing issues.

Voxengo's free multiband correlation meter is a godsend, and free. I tend to use an 'invisible' multiband split with a utility on each band and generally its always to lower the width in certain areas. Its crazy how many samples come with phase issues right out of the pack lol

I love this, I thought i knew everything I needed to know about phase cancellation and you gave me a few tips i wasn't really aware of. Ace moves. Love this channel. edit: and i hate social media and twitter is the worst. nice moves again.

This is great! Glad you got more from this video. I was actually thinking of doing a more advanced phase cancellation video in future as well. Keep an eye out!

So many people don't care about this. I still have the Novation Drumstation from back in the 90s when it was first released. Did you know the snare isn't in phase with the kick drum on that device? No joke. That would be a nice topic for another video: Making a kick and a snare sound perfectly together. To many people this seems to be a real issue.

Saif (safe) surname is cool for musician in the UK - probably more so in the early 2000s. (I realise its Arabic and doesn't mean the same thing- its just cool)

Great video describing technical terms in an interesting and informative, easy to absorb, way (no mean achievement!) Its a small point but @224 I would have said 'reversed the polarity' rather than 'flipped the polarity' :)

I'm trying to figure out how to solve vocal phase cancellation with other sounds, but it's tricky because it sounds whacky if it's not using particular frequency in the mid range but this overlaps other instruments. How or what is the best approach to solve vocals around mid to high frequency? Is it possible in the case of vocals to fully remove phase cancellation?

@R3BBiT Жыл бұрын

Good video! Very important subject and definitely overlooked. Its not exactly inspiring, though 😅 When I’m working in midi, I often use Ableton align delay to both align phase and add a nice groove to the drums 🙌

@BeckySaifMusic Жыл бұрын

How can you not feel inspired by the wonderful science behind the artform? I love this stuff. I'm a proper nerd though, with a science background. Ableton align delay, great tool! Love the idea of using it to add groove to drums. Thanks for sharing :)

Those using a subwoofer need to be sure its phase coincides with the studio monitors, even though you may still hear some bass it will be attenuated if the phase is opposite between the sub and monitors. 😊
