occurs after the Balance parameter in the signal path.<br />

Using Phase Inversion<br />

Inverting phase is useful for dealing with time alignm<strong>en</strong>t problems, particularly those<br />

caused by simultaneous recording with multiple microphones. Wh<strong>en</strong> you invert the<br />

phase of a signal heard in isolation, it sounds id<strong>en</strong>tical to the original. Wh<strong>en</strong> the signal<br />

is heard in conjunction with other signals, however, phase inversion may have an audible<br />

effect. For example, if you place microphones above and below a snare drum, you may<br />

find that inverting the phase of either microphone can improve (or ruin) the sound. As<br />

always, rely on your ears.<br />

Multichannel Gain<br />

Multichannel Gain allows you to indep<strong>en</strong>d<strong>en</strong>tly control the gain (and phase) of each<br />

channel in a surround mix.<br />

• Master slider and field: Sets the master gain for the combined channel output.<br />

• Channel gain sliders and fields: Set the amount of gain for the respective channel.<br />

• Phase Invert buttons: Invert the phase of the selected channel.<br />

• Mute buttons: Mute the selected channel.<br />
