| as bob k discussed way up the top , lots of "pro gear "has not settled itself on absolute polarity (lipinski..? apparently as well) standards !
what i have done here is align our systems is using a emt phase gun as the master reference , we have made sure every single thing in our studios "pushes" as its first wave front impulse .
i am sure there are other products but the emt , has a speaker / microphone as well as an xlr send and receive system , it sends a little ramped click throughout the system and then checks that is received as it was sent .
i think about 1/3 of our gear was not absolute phase positive , so i figure it is something that while clearly still in dispute even as an audable concept , was worth sorting out .
is it a mastering issue? .. well if its an audio issue , its a mastering issue.
but who will hear it if you dont fix up a track with obvious issues ...?
just you .. but thats ok thats why we do this right ..? |
