I took a monaural sound and duplicated it in audacity, I inverted (less technically described: "flipped" the waveform of one and left the other the same as it was. I made the two into a stereo track and it added a lot of depth to the sound. Why? does inverting the waveform make it into an entirely different sound?

this might probably be, now that I think about it, a trick lots of artists use to add stereo depth?

just a question,

and I'll bet anything HardPCM will come up with some complex forumlas and stuff.

NO, :lol:

but yes you can transform an mono sound with just
simply invert/flip one of the two channel

why cuZ when you invert one channel
you dephase the sound in regular case by 90deg.
and that can give strange result like that...

Could you post the two sounds? I'd like to see the difference between the two!

The sound left inverted/flipped:

The sound right inverted/flipped:

it'S jusT my perception,
but I think/feel that the stereo part
become mono and the mono part become stereo hock:
(not mathematically but just in my mind)
