Definition
| originally, "flanging" was achieved using two reel-to-reel tape recorders playing the same program, in sync, with their outputs summed together. by alternately slowing down one machine then the other, different phase canellations occured. since the two signals would alternately add and subtract due to the introduced phase (timing) differnce, the audible effecct was described as a "swishing" or "tunneling" sound. we can now mimic this "swishing" sound with electrionic devices. |
