Man the production quality of your videos has went up since you took this on full time and I love it. Sets you apart for sure. Great content as always, thanks Rick!
If you memorize that sound travels at about 1130 feet per second in average temperature/humidity conditions, which covers studios, then you can round off and assume that every foot equals about 1 millisecond. This is rounding of course, and not exact, but the millisecond is usually the lowest division most people work with in music. Yes, you can go to the sample level, but I doubt most do most of the time until you start shifting things on the Pro Tools timeline by samples. If you want to know the wavelength of a frequency, you divide 1130 by the frequency. 100hz has a wavelength of 11.3 feet. 1khz has a wavelength of 1.3 feet. If you want to know the frequency of a wavelength, you divide 1130 by the wavelength. If a wavelength is 11.3 feet long, then the frequency would be 100hz. That's the scientific part. In application, phase between microphones is most important in that 1 foot/1 millisecond area. That's why its so dramatic when you flip the phase on the bottom mic of the snare, or outer mic on the kick. It's also the area that is played with in Phasing pedals/plugins. That's one reason the X/Y stereo mic technique is a safe way to record things in stereo. You don't get as wide of a stereo image, but since the mic capsules are nearly perfectly aligned, the phase issue is not there. I'm not sure why I even went into this. It must be a phase I'm going through.
So if I calculate correctly the smallest audible wavelength is roughly around 1.5cm (@20kHz) so as long as your Mic capsules are within less than 0.75cm every audible frequency should have at least the same phase direction even if not perfectly in phase? Does that make sense?
The best you can hope for is to physically get the capsules as close to one another as possible, but yes. The other thing to consider is that the mic has it's whole physical design to consider as well. Mics are designed to have polar patterns, and thats built into their design. Recording engineers will get the mics as close as possible to one another if they choose to use X/Y approach as well as Mid-Side technique. One thing that is important is that the mics are the same model, and even better if they are a "matched pair" from the factory. As far as being concerned about capturing 20khz perfectly in phase, I wouldn't be. Analyze any professional recording in a spectrum analyzer like Waves PAZ that has been properly mastered , and you will usually see a rolloff of the high frequencies starting around 16khz or so.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into each of your videos. Your enthusiasm for all things music is contagious. Thank you for another informative post, Rick.
I don’t do a lot of recording and am not even slightly interested in “phase” - or at least I didn’t think I was until I saw this video. I watch all Rick’s videos and never fail to learn something to improve my musical knowledge. Well done.
After years of recording and mixing I finally found 1 source who explained this a couple of years ago. Rick of course does it much better and in depth and the title is exactly to the point. Thanks so much!
Jeeze this is a reeeeallly good video. Everyone needs to buy the Rick Beato book. This is so helpful man...thank you soooo much dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Physics lesson nice. I remember when we came to this lesson in school i got to wip out my guitar and talk about some kewl stuff that goes on thats related to the over all lesson and chapter. The teacher who was this awesome materials scientist who developed stuff for NASA taught me about how some materials and some stuff we learned in later chapters really affect sound.
GREAT lesson and demonstration on phase. It's the most concise and complete video I've seen and it helped me understand it more clearly. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into these. Welcome Maxton, can't wait to see more from you.
Got to admit I know enough about phase where I normally wouldn’t be interested in a video on it, however the thumbnail for the vid was so good i had to open it and give you a 👍. Very clever
I asked for this in a previous video's comment section and you've really delivered the knowledge Rick. Thank you for the excellent examples. This is now my reference anytime I'm not sure if I am in or out of phase, or I'm experiencing phase shift. Superb.
A fun phase trick - mic a guitar cab with two mics of the same kind. Start with them in phase and as you track, pull one away from the cab. Great video Rick! Good explanation and examples.
Really appreciate this information, Rick. As a schooled musician/teacher, most of my knowledge gaps are in the technical-scientific side of sound. Thanks for explaining such an important topic in a logical, demonstrative manner. Cheers!
What was not mentioned is that the amplitude is the movement of the speaker. So when you have phase out of Alignment it makes the audio quieter be cause the to sound waves are canceling out each other’s amplitude.
I would like to see a video dealing with latency when overdubbing; how it's handled with tape, pro tools, and in general. It was just not I just discovered this issue while recording at home. I had to manually move one track over because it was about 150ms later than the other.
All the examples show a phase difference of 180o. When out of phase 180o the sound waves subtract each other completely, leaving only the difference between them. This difference is more in the case of acoustic guitar example. However, when the phasing difference is less than 180o, the interference between the audio waves will generate a third sound, that can give an interesting sound in some cases. Great video
Very insightful video as usual. One thing I heard about those phase-tricks for stereo widening effects etc. is that they don't work so well on vinyl because it makes the needle jump out of the groove. Haven't looked further into that myself.
Ahh thank you for the video! And more prominently, thank you for an awesome summer of content, really high quality and detail without a doubt! I won't lie, I really did only discover you by watching your Guitar Players You Need to Know from 1929-69, but ever since, I have been watching all of your videos because of how much I love your format and information that you bring to the table! Really grateful for all you do, and don't stop the great work man!
The phase associated with that phase button is 180 degrees at all frequencies. The phase difference between two microphones placed at different distances will be a linear phase, so a different phase shift for each frequency, which is how a time delay is described via phase. Two different situations and that is why the tonality changes when you push the button.
This is why my being a drummer and having a tin ear. Also being the sound engineer was a bad idea. I need you 15 years ago. I was the one who bought the recording equipment
Some good information here. Phase issues make me nervous about recording with more than one microphone, so most everything I do is either direct or with a room mic. I know there are certain live applications for phase cancellation (like if you have a horn player that's playing to loudly for a small room, you can flip the phase in the house and try to get rid of some of the volume)
This is technically very interesting to watch & listen Rick! Technically I KNOW some of this but didnt have in my mind when it comes to miking up instruments! Amazingly eye opening! Thanks again!
What about phase issues when recording acoustic guitar and vocal at the same time? (The singer at the guitarist are the same person). Thanks for the video!!!
For everyone looking for examples of deliberate usage of phase offsets in music, Broken by Nine Inch Nails is a great album to check out. It even includes the disclaimer "caution: not for use with mono devices".
Ha, loved the thumbnail image - and the video of course! :) Coooool! Just wanted to add that the wavelength for 6KHz wave is about 2 inches. So to avoid phase issues, the distance between two mics should be less than 1/3 inches.
Rick Beato I was just about to ask you about that. I loved how it sounded though, it definitely made a wider image. Would using mid-side sound just as wide but also sound good in mono?
It would be less confusing to label the "phase" switch as "polarity" because it is inverting the polarity of the signal. Phase to me is much more granular. I would like to see the impact on the phase by moving the microphone in the bass guitar demo. Shout out to Dave Hope there.
The graph at 1:44 shows a time shift that could be produced with a delay, or with microphones at different distances from the source. If the x-axis represents time then the difference between the two waves is a time, measured in seconds. A phase shift is an angle, measured in degrees or radians. Adding the two time shifted sine waves would produce another sine wave phase shifted relative to either of the component sine waves. This is different from using the phase reverse button, which can only produce a one hundred and eighty degree or pi radians shift. Pressing the phase reverse button swaps the wires around reversing the phase without affecting the time.
The time part of the video was placing the diaphragms equal distance to the sound source. This wasn’t a video to show how to get things out of phase or having phase shift. You begin by showing how to make things sound good and go from there.
A good sound is what we want, and this is a great video for helping people achieve that. The first time I encountered phasing in a practical context it stalked sonic space like a bogeyman. I was doing a live recording of a mostly acoustic ensemble. The percussionist had brought his own good mic, which made me think he knew something about recording. He looked around in disgust at our setup of mics on the instruments, and a stereo pair. “You’ll get phasing,” he said. The spectre of phasing hung in the air, unsettling the atmosphere. “My god,” I thought, “has he glanced at the mics and calculated that the distances will interfere with his conga sound?” So I asked him “If we got phasing on the recording, what would it sound like?” “It’s a terrible sound,” he replied. “Tick, tick, tick”. With his fingers he made a snapping gesture beside his ear. “It’s a bad sound,” he said. “OK,” I thought, ”this guy doesn’t have a clue!” and proceeded with the recording. That was the moment I decided to understand phase in detail, so that percussion players with half the picture didn’t freak me out in the future. :-) Cheers, and thanks for all the videos!
What's your take on absolute phase with drums (or in general)? I notice your snare began with a trough because you flipped the polarity of the bottom 57. That usually works with the overheads, which also typically start on a trough, because the drums initially move away from the mic. Some engineers argue that absolute phase matters; Some say it doesn't. Personally, I am undecided, but interested in your take on it. Love your videos :-)
Hi Rick, I may be in the wrong episode or video. But U demonstrate critical things which r hard to explain or becomes a monologue. Can U do something on production? Eg. Bob Rock how he made music digestible. the behind the scenes stuff, the science, the mindset. I think it needs a lot of tolerance too?? I m from India who doesn't have much access to the bigger stuff & naturally drives us for answers or have the appetite. hope I m making sense. Raju
Paul McCartney used to use two mics for his bass and one of the mics was always left a bit more distant to the amp than the other, I just didn't know this is called Phasing. Very interesting.
Hey Rick! Could you please do a segment on Buss Compression and the different ways to use a compressor on the 2 Buss, so like Sterio, Dual Mono, M/S . Take Care, have a great weekend!
Good info Rick! I'd love to hear some input on creative ways of using phase when recording, ie: not having things perfectly in or out to give different tonality, etc. :)
So, what are we hearing when the sound waves are out of phase? Shouldn’t we hear “nothing?” Why aren’t the waves cancelling each other out entirely? Slight variations in the signal chain?
That only happens in science fiction. You have completely different tones coming from different parts of the guitar, different speakers, different mic placement etc. The whole idea phase cancellation the way you’re thinking of it is not actually part of live recording. The kick and snare are great examples of what sounds bad out of phase. The idea of two waveforms becoming silent you can do on a synthesizer but not really with live instruments. Thanks
Went down the rabbit hole of "do my overheads on drums need time shifted to correct phase alignment, or do i work on mic placement n only flip the snare bottom n never go down this rabbit hole again..."🤔🍻
The thumbnail pic is awesome! Love it.
Weaponised Funk
Rick I’ve really been getting into your videos I hope it’s not just a phase.
There's nothing like a chorus of "phase" jokes!
Drummer: _"I don't really play like that"_
Rick: _"Trust me, it sounds better"_
Rick: *suspends drummer and kit upside down on ceiling*
I laughed out loud at that
Man the production quality of your videos has went up since you took this on full time and I love it. Sets you apart for sure. Great content as always, thanks Rick!

Rick, your thumbnail-game is on point.
:-)
Yeah, cool one.
After years of recording and mixing I finally found 1 source who explained this a couple of years ago. Rick of course does it much better and in depth and the title is exactly to the point. Thanks so much!
The crash cymbal advise is a good one. I've seen this missed many times.
Jeeze this is a reeeeallly good video. Everyone needs to buy the Rick Beato book. This is so helpful man...thank you soooo much dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Oh this is fun! I love the acoustic out of phase but then I began to appreciate the in phase sound as well. Both have their place.
Physics lesson nice. I remember when we came to this lesson in school i got to wip out my guitar and talk about some kewl stuff that goes on thats related to the over all lesson and chapter.

You have just changed the way I record acoustic. LOVE that out of phase sound on the body & neck mics. Thank you!
I'm only a few minutes in but I'm learning lots already; thanks Rick!
Thanks Rick! I shared this with my peers in Music Production class. We love your channel.
You're right. Greatest thumbnail ever!
What happened to the earlier version that you took down? Was it out of phase? :D
If memory serves, it looked like the original was intended to be edited down and was, perhaps, posted before it was finished.
it was just a phase he was going through.
Yea, I remember there was issues with missing editing near the beginning and the bass drum was clipping like mad!
It was only phase 1...
Blasted with a phaser
these vids are amazing. i am actually on the edge of me seat waiting for the break down and explanation of each example.
Great video as always, Rick. I really needed an explanation of this, as I wasn't sure what this phase thing was about, but now it's crystal clear.
The best video thumbnail image! Nice info, thanks once more.
Rick, this video actually taught me so much in such a small time. Thanks for getting me interested in recording!!
Rick, thank you! This is fantastic! you guys are SO generous! Would love a supplement about room mics and blending.
Perfect, as always. And that bass tone- wow!!! We need more Rick bass videos! :D
So educational! Been playing guitar for 33 years and had no idea. Thanks! 🤘
Thank you rick and crew!!
Really appreciate this information, Rick. As a schooled musician/teacher, most of my knowledge gaps are in the technical-scientific side of sound. Thanks for explaining such an important topic in a logical, demonstrative manner. Cheers!
This is so important and of course no one explains it better than you... Thank you
we need more of this
So informative, you really demonstrated this in a clear way, thank you so much Rick.

I was going to comment on the same thing on this but found your post. So---THIS!
rick, i love you. thank you for your knowledge.
Very informative for someone who always works inside of a digital vacuum :)
Great vid. Learned more about recording today than I've know previously.
Thanks Rick! This is valuable information, and I really appreciate your doing this.

Excellent tutorial on Phase. Wow! So helpful Rick. Thank you for taking the time on this :)
That is one beautiful drum kit.
16:54 - Can't help but hope that was a teaser for a What Makes This Song Great - Kansas :D
i love your recoding tips and thanks for the video . you're the best
This clarified many things. Thanks man!

What about phase issues when recording acoustic guitar and vocal at the same time? (The singer at the guitarist are the same person). Thanks for the video!!!
Amazing information
Just like your other videos
This is massively helpful Rick, thank you :)
Wow, thats impressive. The acoustic guitar part was great

What about piano? Like a 3-mic setup...
Great work, as always!
best example I've seen and heard
Great explanation so far. Love your videos.
RIck beato is the coolest dude in youtube man !!!!
What a lovely gear Rick ♥
Am I the only one who thought the acoustic "jumping out of the speaker"-effect sounded cool?
It sounds cool unless you tried to sum it to mono :)
Rick Beato I was just about to ask you about that. I loved how it sounded though, it definitely made a wider image. Would using mid-side sound just as wide but also sound good in mono?
Out of phase sounds like tghe car stereo part of "Shine on you Crazy Diamond"
Could you make a video abouth the Haas effect and how to implement it,
Thanks a lot, Rick! That was really a helpful and vivid explanation as always
Rick, more content like this please.
I thought this got blocked. And after Toto I was extra peeved! Glad its here to see!!!!!
That acoustic sounds sooo good. What kind of guitar is it?
It would be less confusing to label the "phase" switch as "polarity" because it is inverting the polarity of the signal. Phase to me is much more granular. I would like to see the impact on the phase by moving the microphone in the bass guitar demo. Shout out to Dave Hope there.

I think monoing the signals helps a lot with checking phase
Thumbnail is great!
I appreciate that "Them Bones" riff. 🙌🏾

I must be going through a phase watching more of your vids during the day :)
Paul McCartney used to use two mics for his bass and one of the mics was always left a bit more distant to the amp than the other, I just didn't know this is called Phasing. Very interesting.
One like just for the thumbnail, so cool.
This is gold.
"This old amp...from the 90s." Thanks Rick. Didn't feel old until just now.
That's a pretty good sounding drum!
Hey Rick! Could you please do a segment on Buss Compression and the different ways to use a compressor on the 2 Buss, so like Sterio, Dual Mono, M/S . Take Care, have a great weekend!
I already did. Look it up on my channel.

Thank you Rick. I’ve been waiting for a vid like this for a long time. You fuckin rock!
4:22 Alice In Chains - Them bones? O.o
I believe "Them Bones"... played he? lol
Yep and the bass was Kansas - "Carry on my wayward son".
Carlos= yes. He features that song on an episode of "What makes this song great" (on this TH-cam site). Watch it.
Damn, sweet thumbnail Rick!
Went down the rabbit hole of "do my overheads on drums need time shifted to correct phase alignment, or do i work on mic placement n only flip the snare bottom n never go down this rabbit hole again..."🤔🍻
