In the analog audio world, it is achieved comparing the L+R vs L-R levels, while we change the input stereo channels phase (it was a mechanical action on the cassette recording/play-back head).

The device must be enabled in Sound and Devices otherwise applications (such as Audacity) will not be ab...
