On my current project, I have a bit of the ambient Mid mic in the drum mix (Superior Drummer). I have it compressed pretty hard, about 6-7db GR, but it is rather low in the mix. When I mute it, it's sort of obvious that something is missing that was there before.
Now, there is an"invert phase" button on each channel. When soloed, I guess you can't hear the difference between phases since there's nothing to compare it to. But when I bring in the snare bus, solo it with the ambient mid mic, then switch on/off invert phase on the ambient channel, there is something happening there.
I think it sounds better with the phase inverted - it seems the snare is louder, more centered, and less spaced out. Does that sound about right? I didn't think SD had phase inversion, but I guess I've been overlooking that button. Would there be something "wrong" about inverting the phase on that ambient channel? I mean, if it sounds better then good... but I didn't think phase would come into play in a sampled drum program.
thoughts?
