| Alters the dynamics or differences between low and high volumes within an audio signal. It is useful when recording to take out the sharp peaks in the audio to maximize the volume going to the recorder without distortion. It can also be used as an effect to make voices sound bigger and fuller, increase loudness, and smoothen mixes. |

Definition
| Originally, "flanging" was achieved using two reel-to-reel tape recorders playing the same program, in sync, with their outputs summed together. By alternately slowing down one machine then the other, different phase cancellations occurred. since the two signals would alternately add and subtract due to the introduced phase (timing) difference, the audible effect was described as a "swishing" or "tunneling" sound. We can not mimic the "swishing" sound with electronic devices. |
