Here is a nice animation that shows the relation between phase and time: Animation: movie of a sine wave (sinusoidal wave) y = sin x and a cosine wave y = cos x by Russell Kightley Media
I know many people will call a polarity inversion a 180° phase shift but that is wrong. Unfortunately much equipment/plugins, their manuals and other documents make this mistake which is probably the cause of the confusion.
Feel free to invert the polarity of the first half of the wave, align it with the second half and see if nulls (it should) but that doesn't change the fact that calling it a phase shift is wrong.
What two signals? It is just a bounce from a section of sequenced music with only the kick and the bass soloed. The polarity is just flipped half way through by automating a plugin on the master bus (Flux Stereo Tools).

Yes Alistair you are right, it's not phase shift , I stand corrected
i didn't get the chance to mix the two halfs of that Polarity.wav , i'm sure they will cancel out each other.
Can you guys tell me how can i figure out if my mic recordings, or any other voice, have the corect Absolute Polarity ?
