Dark Ride: 'Hammer Down'

[mikej]

*This is polarity switching, and polarity#phase. Polarity is a function of negative and positive in sound pressure and voltage. Phase is a function of time. One has nothing to do with the other. After you switch the polarity, I can still make it out of phase by moving it.

Not quite.  Inverting polarity and changing the phase of a signal by 180 will have the same result.  Try it.

*This, according to my understanding, is latency, referring the time it takes for the EQ to react. And since it involves time therefore phase can happen here. It is also the reason why boost/cut creates phase equally tho we don't hear them equally; easier to detect when boost.

No, I don't mean latency as in additional delay introduced by a plugin.  The delay I am referring to above is how eq's actually work.

I think you are slightly misunderstanding .
