Talk:Phase shifting

Please site source for crediting Francis Grasso with phase shifting. All the research I have done does not show this. Mr. Grasso was the first DJ to take 2 copies of the same record and extend the song past its normal 2 & 1/2 minute length, but that's all.


 * I've rephrased the passage referred to by anon above, as the technique is generic, and has been used experimentally by DJs for decades.


 * My biggest concern about this article is that it appears to be describing two entirely different things - "repeating phrases of the same tempo, but different metrical lengths" is not really related to the audio effect, which depends on two identical sounds playing at subtlely different speeds.

 * I've deleted what I consider to be irrelevant sections. The audio effect is covered in Phasing. TheMadBaron 07:31, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

The first paragraph seems like an acurate (but brief) description of phase shift as I understand it (I'm an Electrical Engineer). The rest of this article is about a musical technique that I never heard of before. Perhaps there should be two seperate pages, one for phase shift, the musical technique, and another for phase shift the physics/mathmatics concept. Although Wave_interference seems to cover the physics/mathmatics concept fairly well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Msebast (talk • contribs).

 * Francis Grasso is credited with originating phasing as a DJ technique, playing two copies of the same record from the same point at the same time so as to create a phase effect.

I'll leave this out for now since I don't know if it is phasing or phase shifting. Hyacinth 11:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


 * According to http://suenomartino.net/btg.htm it was phase shifting, giving a flanging effect. Hyacinth 11:14, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
