phase, magnitude, audio file and information I've been doing some thinking lately. I know that for image files a larger portion of information is contained in the phase of the signal. How does that go for the audio? Does the same hold or is the amplitude the one with the more information content? Thx all.
As the comments said. "monoaural phase" is not very important and monoaural phase changes are often inaudible. "binaural" phase is very important for localisation and imaging, particularly in stereo files.

"monoaural" means the phase of a single channel or that the same phase shift or modification is applied to all channels the same way.

"binaural" means specifically the difference in the signal at the left and the right ear.
