O.k. I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I have 2 side address cardioid tube condenser mics(pin 2 hot on both) I am using to cut vocals on a project. I am tracking both mics at the same time onto 2 seperate tracks in the slow tools. One mic is pointed straight up and the other is pointed straight down and sits on top of the mic pointed straight up. The idea is to capture the vocal via 2 different mics and blend getting the prefect tone without using an eq. If I pan the tracks in the center and have equal gain on both mics I get a sound of mono and out of phase. To fix the problem I hit the polarity button on the mic pre and the vocals sound normal. I
What I am trying to get my head around is why I am getting cancellation? Is it because both capsules are on the same plane and equal distant from the source or is there something more a foot? In other words is it similar to that of 2 mics on a snare drum and having to flip polarity on one of them?
