Audio Examples 05a-e
Each of these files uses the same basic sample layers as its starting point, but different nudges have been applied to one layer, resulting in offsets of between 3 and 21 samples. Listen to each and you can hear the transformational effect of phase cancellation, and what you can do by combining this with EQ.
Audio Example 05a
A three-sample nudge, with some EQ applied.
Audio Example 05b
A 10-sample nudge, with no EQ.
Audio Example 05c
An 11-sample nudge with EQ.
Audio Example 05d
A 12-sample nudge with EQ.
Audio Example 05e
A 20-sample nudge, without EQ.
