Polarity switch

Post by superhunter2 » Wed Oct 14, 2015 7:14 pm

Hey guys, I'm stumped again. I'm comping some drum tracks together and came across an issue. I used two mics per take, a kick and an overhead. Say track 1 and 2 are in phase but I added tracks 3 and 4 to them which are out of phase because the one mic got moved a little on the second take. I was to reverse the polarity on just a section of track 3 to be in phase with track 4 so I can comp then with 1 and 2. Can you reverse the polarity on a region or does it have to be a whole track? Thanks guys!

Hey superhunter2,

Have you tried Automation?

How would you automate a polarity switch?

Underneath where you select the colours on the edit page, click on "Audio" then select "Phase" then draw where you want the switch to turn on and where you want it to turn off.

Or simply set the track for write mode (W) and click the polarity switch when you like.

Your welcome!

I was going to suggest that you separate out the area you want to reverse phase on and move it to a neighboring track to reverse. Then do a mixdown of those 2 tracks.

Both would work great and makes sense. Thanks again
