I use phase cancellation all the time (in Ableton). If I'm processing a sound and making a very wet or distorted sound, I reverse the polarity and mix it back alongside the original channel, and because effectively all of the tones that haven't been changed are cancelled, all that's left is the new processed sounds - its basically like always having a dry/wet mix. Fun shit.

I don't want to sound picky but triangle waveforms don't have all harmonics but only odd number harmonics, the fundamental being number one and so on... Anyway a great application for phase cancellation you haven't mention is the making of accapellas. If you have an instrumental and the orginal track, put them mono and reverse phase of one of the 2 and you get the accapella.

Technically, you're right about phase being essentially the start of the wave. In a more specific sense though, phase refers to the offset of the wave relative to the origin. Another way to think of it and much more relative to sound design is that it's the fraction of the wave that has passed relative to the start of the wave and the wave's cycle (aka period, period being the time it takes the wave to return to its starting position).

"balanced cable" *burp*

@thec4ke 10 жыл бұрын

Yea balanced cables are one of those brilliant yet simple ideas. Basically the source sends the sound out twice, once with the phase flipped. At the destination, the flipped signal is flipped again and the two are combined (internally they're subtracted, but same thing). Because you flipped the phase of the signal twice (at source and at destination), it doubles. Because you flipped the phase of the noise once (no noise at source), the noise cancels. The technical term is "differential signaling," it's used all over the place in electronics and computers.

@aqua3418 3 жыл бұрын

Phase cancellation is fun. I've used with two audio files, one instrumental and another one with singing, to subtract things from it by inverting the other one.

Hey Seamless, what did you study at college?

@ShopSongs 10 жыл бұрын

Hey Seamless, it's actually XLR that uses Balanced audio to cancel noise with Phase Cancellation, XLR has 3 connections, Hot, cold, and earth, and the Hot and cold cancel each other out, where as on a TRS the 3 connections are Left audio , right audio , and earth. This is why DI Boxes often turn TS or TRS cables into XLR cables, because it's getting Unbalanced audio signals from instruments or microphones (standard audio signal) into a balanced XLR signal (a signal that uses phase cancellation to eliminate noise) Also this is also why XLR Is almost always mono and TRS (not TS) is stereo compatible Hope this helps :)

Awesome video, as always. Just a little detail about a thing you said. I wouldn't normally comment about something like this but you asked me to in the end of the video xD. You said that a balanced cable is not a stereo cable. That depends on how you use it, what comes before and after the cable. You can use a balanced cable as a balanced mono cable, but also as a stereo one. Headphones have a TRS 1/8 inch connector right. And some mixing consoles have a single 1/4 inch jack for effect returns so you can use just one balanced cable from the outboard gear to the console, using it as a stereo cable.

Very good video. I took electrical engineering classes in college where we studied wage forms and how their phases which actually impacts performance of electronics. Having waveforms cancel each other out isn’t a good thing in EE because the resultant signal is linear and not useful. One comment, you aren’t hearing the “difference” of the signal but actually the “addition” of the signals. Though if you change the phase 180 degrees and then subtracted it I suppose you would be right :)

So is distortion then also a result of phase cancellation because it is adding harmonics to the sound? Also, could you do a tutorial on the haas effect, how to use it to pan and how to avoid phasing occuring when making a sound mono after using it? A tutorial about mono compatibility would also be nice.

@used2sleep821 8 жыл бұрын

+RellyAlexander That's hard to answer because phase is over time and cancellation is technically only reversed polarity. You may be talking about time align. phasing is a shift in the wave form over time. Time align is more a shift in the beginning of the wave to start at the same time as something. Drop a stone at opposite ends of a pond and the waves over lap each other that is cancellation. Drop 2 stones in different areas at the same end that is phase alignment ish the waves still clash not as much that is phasing. Drop 2 different sized stones in the same spot at the same time you get one even wave completely different from them individually without clashing. Time alignment. In other words there may be more than one issue going on for you to look at.
