2 hihats playing at the same time, causing phasing...

[hans blix]

I got 2 identical open hihats, one pitched up, one pitched slightly down. When they hit at the same time a weird/nasty phasing sound occurs.

Anyone know how to mend this? Sorry if it's a stupid q.

Edit: Also I don't want to change hihat if I can avoid it ... thanks!

Don't play them at the same time

It's probably cuz their out of tune. Try playing around with the pitch until the phasing goes away.

[Dreadfunk]

Of course it sounds bad. It's just like playing two detuned notes, you get phasing.

[deadly_habit]

did you try flipping the phase on one of em?

[vertx]

Yeah flip the phase on one or shift it a small amount forwards or backwards.

or replace one of them..

[flatfaced]

or change its frequency

or zoom in the waveform and fix it by hand

This basically.

If you're running through the basic FL sampler, you can reduce the start/end of the sample using the controls on one of the sampler tabs (can't remember which one without looking, the controls above the waveform basically)

or pan them apart...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I set one of the hats to 180% width, sitting much better now

[Ldizzy]

a lot of people underestimate proper panning

glad we could help!
