In this tool, left and right is the width, and up down is phase. A mono signal will be a straight line, straight up. Here's your original track:
very wide, and mostly out of phase. This gives you a weird hollow sound that sort of makes your ears swim as you listen, very "phasey". |
Doug, I was just wondering how you get this phase view to show in Adobe Audition? I use the program to record as well and I seem to encounter the "swimmy" and tinny sound every so often when I'm recording with a stereo mic setup. Very strange as I thought if you have two mics on the guitar and they are panned left and right you don't need to worry about phase issues. But I still get the awkward sounds sometimes!
