Massive phase mangling has been around since the mid 80s. And the whole era of music that was done on cocaine aka the 80s. At least for the music I have in my personal collection.Ĭlick to expand.There are some ringers. I can hear absolute polarity problems and I'm not constantly flipping the absolute polarity for different albums or tracks. Professional mastering engineers know how to hear absolute polarity and make the correct decisions during the mastering process. I have found that the majority of professionally produced and mastered albums get the absolute polarity correct the vast majority of the time. Some of those can have wrong absolute polarity. What I tend to have more problems with are some of the less professional recordings that didn't go through a professional mastering. But recordings like that are not common in my collection.

You'll flip back and forth depending on whether you want the bass or the solo to be more correct. There is no best setting for something like that. Some jazz recordings can end up with the bass in one absolute polarity and a solo instrument in another absolute polarity. There are some periods and styles of music that can have more absolute polarity problems. At least for the music I have in my personal collection.
