I have a few questions about these topics in relation to recording musical instruments and audio playback. As a simple example, lets start with a piano playing the note middle C and then a few moments later a guitar playing the note middle C. Lets assume both instruments are recorded with the same microphone. It seems to me that middle C determines the frequency, so both instruments would be playing the same frequency. It also seems clear to me that both instruments could play at the same amplitude, if need be for a test. If the same microphone is used, does that necessarily mean they will be recorded with the same phase? Then when playing back a recording of these events, is it possible that both the piano sound and guitar sound could have identical amplitude, frequency and phase? And if that is true, how could one distinguish the piano note from the guitar note? Thanks in advance to all you people out there more knowledgeable than me, who are going to answer this correctly,
