MixPad - Phase reverse

Iain

Hello

I have just downloaded MixPad trial version. First impressions are very good, but I cannot find track Phase invert.

All hardware recording consoles have a "Phase Invert (Reverse) button on each channel. I use this when recording drums with two mics on the snare drum. The first mic is above and the second below the drum . These two signals are mutually out of phase and so the phase from the second mic needs to be reversed.

Where can i find the Phase switch on MixPad?

Did NCH ignored your question? Over 2 months without a reply. Probably they don't have this feature.

I guess this is not a software for the professional music industry.

The software does not have the option you are referring to, since that is controlled by a switch in the mixing console or interface you are using. This is not a software feature.

The purpose of using a software (computer based) recording/mixing system is to replace the mixing console. So the software based system needs to have at least the same or more options than the console can offer. Take a look at ProTools, Cubase, Reaper etc etc all offer the possibility to reverse phase, which one often needs to do in audio post, when building delays, effects etc.

I use a Focusrite (Neve) interface, the choice of many professionals, which has no phase switch because it is assumed rightly, that such an option will be included in the recording software.

No reply until your post. But NCH does not seem to have a good reputation for customer support. if you post a question regarding ProTools, Steinberg, or Reaper you can expect a reply to their forums usually on the same day, and a more detailed post to your private or company post box within 24 hrs. They offer solutions, and do not attempt to pass the buck:-))

This is a shame, because I have been an avid user of the NCH WavePad editor for some time. Excellent.

Before posting here, I tried to find the answer to my question in the MixPad User Guide, quite a skimpy set of notes.

Mixpad also seems to have some serious stability problems.

I am disappointed too that this software does not do that. Is a simple and universal feature. All software and mixing/recording hardware has it, but your does not forcing me to use a third party soft. And even after this guy asked you 5 years ago you still did not implement it. Why?
