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 ? |
In general it is not easy to tell from the waveform of the recording itself unless you have recorded a trumpet, trombone or a bass drum. The trumpet and trombone usually (but not always) have a distinctive negative-going peak. The bass drum should have an initial positive-going transient before then going negative. But if you have access to the microphone, cables, preamps and ADC that were used you can generate a signal with a polarity tester and look at the waveform in your DAW and confirm it made it through with the correct polarity.
