Hello Mr. Roth - all I meant is that you can have the cartridge phased normally i.e. when you play a modern stereo record, it will be correct. You don't need to physically re-wire your cartridge unless you intend to just listen to the music. When I'm recording, I have the volume low because I am more concerned with listening to the final product. When I said out of phase I meant out of phase for vertical records. I have one turtable I use for almost all recording and like to keep is simple - I still have about 100 diamond discs - would you like a list? -Mickey Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/MickeyRClark M.C.Productions Vintage Recordings 710 Westminster Ave. West Penticton BC V2A 1K8 1-250-462-7881 http://mcproductions.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Roth" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2015 10:19 AM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Playing Edison Diamond discs > Greetings, Mr. Clark > > Thank you for responding to my inquiry. > > I'm not quite sure what you meant by "record in stereo (out of phase)". > Are you referring to the wiring of the cartridge for vertical grooves? > > Also, "invert the phase of one channel" and combine for mono. > I use Sony Sound Forge 9 which has an "Invert/Flip" tool. > It turns the wave of that channel upside down. > Is that what I need to do? > Please explain a little further. > Thank you. > > Ben Roth > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List > [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mickey Clark > Sent: Tuesday, May 05, 2015 11:53 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Playing Edison Diamond discs > > If you're using a computer, you can record in stereo (out of phase) , then > using a wave editor, invert the phase of one channel, then combine for > mono. > I know the process - and the sound will be horrible until you combine the > tracks for mono - then all the noices will miraculously disappear!!!
