Hey all -
I'd like to know more about the fact that when I put say two mics right on a amp cabinet, and get them the distance, I don't have any phasing issues,,,,,,,,which is the point right?
But lets say add a third mic, maybe two to three feet off the cab to pick up more "true" bottom end. Now when mixed with the other two close mics, phasing becomes an issue, obviously because of the distance and time sound takes to get to the further mic.
Now should I be adding a small amount of delay to the furthest mic to compensate and match up the phasing with the two close mics?
Or....Should I leave it the way it is,,,,,and make that part of the sound.
I'm sure this is probably a matter of taste, but will this phasing issue,,,,,,,hurt me down the line when it comes to say summing the guitar tracks, and then mixing with the rest of the instruments?
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
