Ok, i don understand really why someone has to flip the phase on thieir preamp when recording using the backside of a Ribbon mic. I understand that the backside is the reverse polarity of the ribbon (yadda yadda yadda), but why then flip the phase on the mic preamp? why cant you just use the backside of the mic, and not flip anything and let it be what it is?
Only reason i ask is cause recently got a CAD trion 7000, and when i first got it i really didnt know much about it or ribbon mics in general. So i tested it by doing some spoken word stuff, and recorded it.....then decided to try the same on the backside of the mic, and noticed it seems clearer and a tad bit louder?
also, if i were to use the back side of the mic, and flip the phase, would it not sound just like the front side? then what would be the point in doing that?
can someone share some thoughts on this subject?
