Phase Issue?

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.

HM-1 and Phase

Has anyone noticed if their HM-1's are out of phase? Mine certainly are. I had one up on a cab with a 57 (I believe), and waBLAMO insta phase prob. Both mics up on the grill. First I thought maybe the mic cable is wired wrong, but nope. It seems the mic itself is wired backwards.

Has anyone else run into this?
