I just encountered my first noticeable issue of phase problems from recording a kit.
kik - d112
snare- sm57
hihats sm58
toms 3 x clip mic sennheisers
OH 2 x C1000
I might just have never noticed it, but this time i really did. The overheads on their own sounded good but were out of phase with the kik and the snare mics. The strange thing is that the hihat mic was in phase with the OHs!
I even tried inverting the phase of both OHs, but it just sounded even worse!
I dont know enough about this. Is it to do with the OHs position. (i am close micing everything)
I had the overheads pointing towards the snare and cymbals trying to get as even a distance to the snare as possible without forgetting about the cymbals.
i know it is possible to budge the tracks a bit to get them in time with each another but i have Cubase vst5 and cant seem to do it accurately enough and also dont want to have to do that really.
To combat my phase issues i had to take all the low and mid end away from the OHs and just leave some highs. And i had to do the same for the hihats as the hihats were out of phase with the snare.
Please help me anyone with some pro experience.
