Please forgive me for having posted a similar question on the mastering forum, but I want more folks from this forum to offer input. I have been recording a guy singing and playing guitar and have some phase problems. He is not able to perform guitar and vocals separately as would be ideal.

Hi everyone, Im new here (so hopefully Im posting this in the right place/want to apologise in advance if Im not...)
I want to calculate the degree of phase shift between two sine Wavesof the same frequency. I have the following formula (but cant find the right symbols on my keyboard (!)):

degree of phase = time difference * frequency * 360

As I continue to struggle/experiment/learn how to get the sound I want from my mics, pres, and oh yes, voice, I was inspired to try something new (to me) and it kinda, sorta, works. I take two tracks (recorded with different mics and pres), eq and compress both so that they sound as good as I can make them, but neither one "just right".

I am familiar with both of these types of sounds, but I do not really understand what a Phazer is. I know a Flanger mimics tape flangeing. How can one explain what a Phazer is, and how it scientifically is different from a Flanger. Thanks in advance!

I am a very inexperienced rookie when it comes to recording and I don't quite get the concept of phase cancellation. Could someone give me a rough explanation? thanks.

Does anybody know about a rack mountable unit that will provide phantom power AND phase reverse switching functions? My Aardvark Q10 does not have phase reverse capability.

I looked at the Little Labs device, but it is not what I'm searching for, plus the price is too high. I need a rope and tire solution, not a gilded lilly.

Being a drummer myself, I'm always looking for a better way to record drums. The other day I tried recording individual pieces of my drums and then sequencing them in DP3. It came out better than I thought it would. I used an Audix D4 inside the kick (I have Tama Starclassic Maple drums which are awsome) and a tube condenser about 3 ft away.

It's available as a RTAS plugin . Anyone tried this yet? How does it sound?

I have read a lot about phase issues, but don't really understand what it is, or what things would sound like when there is one. Please help me understand this.

As the question asks, when I do even a rough mix of some sounds I'll add some reverb. As I turn up the return I here a BIG time phase difference!
It makes me want to shut it off. I notice this particularly when monitoring in headphones, less in the mains.

I also here this when I do a mix on a DAW sometimes.
