from a friend:

"I made two recordings the other night of the same band. Mics on stage at 24/96. (140>f410>700m running wavelab) I also had a JB3 plugged in off the board.

I laid out the resampled/dithered aud and chopped up the board into tracks. As I began synching the board chunks to the audience in a wavelab montage, I happened to notice that when I zoomed in close where the aud had a peak the board had a valley. I simply opened up each board chunk, inverted the phase to match the audience recording, and started over. In the end the mix sounds great.

Would it have sounded different if I didn't invert the phase?

If not inverted you may have gotten cancelled frequencies or a washed out kind of sound.
