no and I may of mispoke using the word phase tbh, I meant 90 degrees out of phase between the hoizontal and vertical plane...it's my understanding that vertical imagery would be determined really by surroundings and physical limitations. I would think the fact we hear the source being higher in altitude is do to reflections and mono reference points...in a virtual enviroment like headphones there is no accomodation for up or down (or back and fourth for that matter)but the horizontal plane still exists. That's why I think it would be a cross between phase and frequency, please bear in mind I'm only suggesting, not stating, as I really am not sure..it just seems logical to me...I don't think some kind of harmonic processing would be of much value...but again I could be wrong...Daven Hughes wrote:how would there be phase considerations? A sound directly overhead is not closer to one ear or the other, unlike a sound to our left or right.
Consider a sound source that moves from directly in front of you, up, then directly overhead. Where would the sound do a 90° phase shift? Maybe I'm confused about what you mean - I assume you mean the phase shift is the relative phases between left/right channels.
