Inverting the phase of a track
A waveform’s exact opposite is called an inversion. It is a shift of 180 degrees. A waveform and its
inversion cancel each other out completely, so it is usually not desirable to have two track recordings
of the same source if one is phase inverted. It can lead to reduced volume, lowered or distorted
response in certain frequencies, or even silence in the case of two tracks which are exactly identical
(i.e. cloned tracks).
Occasionally, for example when recording a source using two microphones, one of the microphones
may be recording an inversion of the other, the resulting tracks may, to some degree, be cancelling
each other out. SONAR allows you to invert the phase of a track to match another.
To invert the phase of a track
1. Open the Track view or Console view.
2. In the track you want to invert the phase, click the Phase inversion button .
