In Reply to: RE: Or the French horn... posted by genungo on August 29, 2014 at 13:51:19
"The direction of the blast..."What does that have to do with polarity?
If the first half of the first wave form emitted from the horn is positive then it pressurizes the room and will be seen by the microphone (or our ears) as a positive going half wave, no matter which direction the horn pointing.
P.S. I don't have a dog in this race. I'm just trying to keep it real.

Sorry, I should have made myself more clear. Zipcord and David S. made me think of the difficulties involved in recording things like drumkits, which started me thinking about the difficulties involved in recording instruments like the French Horn using the "purist, minimally miked, audiophile" recording techniques that might make it easiest to detect polarity issues. Pierre Sprey of Mapleshade Records talks about the difficulties involved in recording the French Horn and piano in his CD entitled, "The Majesty of the Horn". Instruments like that one can be real bears to record because of the dispersion characteristics or the complex sum of their reflections, or so it is said.
