This may seem a silly question, and in my many years of multitrack recording, I've managed to dodge it by just taking separate tracks, but now I need to know:
When recording an acoustic guitar and vocal played by the same person at the same time, how in the heck do you avoid phasing?
I've tried it a number of times, just with one mic on the guitar and one on the vox, and there's always a boxy phase sound when I do it. I occasionally work with some artists who (unlike me) do better vocal takes while playing their acoustic guitar, and I need a solution.
One thing I tried once was using the Phase Reverse button on my preamp, but it just gave the sound a different boxy tone.
Any secrets?
