RE Sans Amp phase & drums...

Also, play with HiLo pass filtering before you start moving things. That can alter your phase relationships drastically.
EQ=selective phase shift. |
Very interesting because like others here, I find there is no '100% perfect' phase relation ship with a clean snare and a processed Sans Amp copy, (even after the 1 sample increment shift game - it just always seems to have a close but not perfect phase relationship) . I can see that doing things like rolling off bass on the processed version might suddenly make more bass come through on the clean track etc etc..Cool tip must remember to try that more often.
I think the key is, some of the Sans Amped frequencies may be
close in phase to the original but others will be
further out of phase and have a subtractive effect on tone..
Using eq on one or both of two combined signals with close but not exact phase coherant signals can be weird (in a good way), sometimes subtractive EQ of a certain totally unexpected frequency - can have a profound (and sometimes very cool) BOOSTING effect on another frequency of the combined signal output..
