MS / spaced omni and phase cancellation technique

Hi,

I'm working on a holiday Cd with my choirs right now and hope to start recording in 3-4 weeks. I've been happy with using spaced omnis in the fair/poor room I record in and am beginning to experiment with MS to see if that technique will provide better results in the space.

my voice sounds like theres a phaser on it

hey all

i have a small start up home studio. i have a Marshall 990, a Rolls rp 220 preamp, and a vs 1880. when i record vocals, it sounds like theres a phaser on my voice. any ideas what this could be? do i need to flip the phase switch on my preamp? i dont have any effects on my vox when i record or listen back.

Phase Issue?

Forums

A friend of mine brought over some recorded tracks of guitar work that needed some limiting via my Manely Vari Mu,,no problem,,I thought--right?
AS I listened to the tracks,I noticed that the over all sound of the lead guitar tracks sounded nasal,,so I asked him how he went about recording the tracks,,keeping in mind that the tracks souned good,but,had a nasal issue.

Phase Correction.

Hello all,
I recently read (don’t ask where) that if you invert the polarity of an XLR cable, this will help in correcting phase issues. Is this true? If it is, how would I go about performing this procedure, though I am a little reluctant to start cutting up one of my cables.
Also, is the phase invert option in my DAW (Sonar 4 PE) accurate?
Thanks.
