Default Re: what does phase and reverse button mean?

The main use for the "phase" button (which is really just a polarity flipper) is for combining multiple microphones on the same source. For example, I always check the phase of the overheads with the kick and the snare. By flipping the phase on kick or snare there is almost always a change in tone.

I won't go into robo specifics here, but by flipping the phase button frequencies that were being cut out will not be boosted and vice versa.
