I'm pretty new to recording but I thought I had guitar-related phase issues sussed in my DAW (Reaper) as well as a reasonable idea of how to minimise phase cancellation when setting up two microphones.
Now i've found something that has me absolutely stumped:
I recorded a track on a classical guitar, Rode NTA1 placed about 2 feet from the guitar. I then recorded an additional part exactly the same (going for this type of effect:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WvWkUhszeE) and on playback in mono there were phase issues (severe comb-filtering in a later set of takes I did). I've never had phase issues when recording two identical but individual guitar parts. What can I do to fix this? My usual act of moving the waveform in the DAW doesn't seem to be working like it does when I mic my amp up (for example) with two mics and get a little latency, i guess because the waveforms aren't identical. Any advice out there on this?
Having played around with a few trial versions of phase alignment plugins i'm starting to think that I need to address the issue earlier on in the process...
