In fact thats a example of the damage that can be done by looking at
scopes. When the first masters were made of Electric Ladyland, the

was heard by Hendrix, he was less than impressed, they had spent a lot
of time creating all the out of phase effects in the first place.
Thats why its the second pressing is the one to have, not the first.


I call BS.

looking at a scope with simple waveforms on you may be able to see
out-of-phaseness.

I challenge you to do so on a complex musical source.

Accepted, not wanting to be accused of bull**** (though this was just
ment to be a hopefully interesting "did you know"). I thought I would
try myself. yes I know he as left the building, but I still didn't want
the accusation to stick :-)

They did have some fun on that record, I can picture them, surrounded by
what was then (I guess) state of the art kit, finding ways to abuse it.

I wish I had my video camera on hand, anybody want to spend a few
minutes with a scope and has that recording, there is some quite OBVIOUS
out of phase information, try side one track one, "And the gods made love".

Anybody know of any PC stuff that could create a lissajous from a wav ?
