The condenser could've been a figure 8, pointing away. It would still capture the amp directly, but the phase would be reversed.
too many words
Nice simple explanation.
Very good teacher
Very nice
I found it very helpful to have this explained and SHOWN (visually and audibly) at the same time. Thanks Graham
I find it unlikely the signals were exactly 180 degrees. He probably reversed it for the purpose of this video. He makes a valid point though, check your phase!
I didn't think it was possible to sound worse than the 57 until I heard the condenser. I would pass and send it back to where ever it came from. Bad tone is bad tone, in phase or out.
oh ps ….maybe if you can email me at bryansmith82870@gmail.com.….i need to know asap …thanx
hello graham……… so ….i have a question …..im running a mesa boogie thru a marshal 4×12 ..them sm57 mic to a focusrite 2i2 ….(and tried 5 other mics ..akg120 in the room as well..beta 52 ..mxl 770…etc)….and i cant get a good sound …the room sounds GREAT !!!…my mesa and my orange sound incredible ….but when i try to record distortion ..its disappointing as hell …..what am i doing wrong ?….please help …..ive been playing for 35 years or so ……my ears are very tuned …so i need perfection mostly …ha ha ……..just frustrating ….do i need a better interface ….cause i recorded the same tune im doing now 15 years ago on a 4 track tape ….and it sounds better then what i am doing now ……ugh ….please help
U should run a contest where the winner gets a demo mixed by u
Could he not fix the problem by manually shifting one of the clips in time until its back in phase?
But what if the phases are not opposite? What if they are slightly off or only a quarter of a cycle off?
Can you get phase issues with direct input doubled guitar using different takes?
What is the diffrence between a mic and using a line out from an amp to record a guitar ?
Could you not add the phrase, phase alignment in the title??
does it matter if i record with the phase on or should i flip the phase after I'm done recording?
Nice tip graham, thanks very much.
I'm a beginner to recording and these tips are great, thank for sharing you knowledge.
good！
no comments on open back cab being micd? common technique, requires phaseflip, engineer maybe forgot to mention before sening for mix?
If you already know everything you need to know about phase cancellation why didn't you spend the 8 minutes you are so upset for having spent watching this video and the other 1-3 it took to leave comment, working on something else? Anyone who knows how to deal with phase issues would have realized in 1-2 minutes what this was going to be about and anyone who hasn't learned about it yet would stick around and figure it out.
That video dragged on forever and you repeated yourself a lot. The fix was just to flip the polarity of one of the tracks. You could've condensed everything you said into a 2 minute video and had been more informative

You can explain the same in 1 minute.
If this was called 'phasing on guitars' or something I'd have saved myself 5 minutes of watching it. Even if that was in the description, which tbh I'd have missed but still.
If you record digitally, and software's like Bias simulate different mics (the two you mentioned), will I run into problems like this?
I know how not to destroy youre guitare Tone …
Don't use a computer !!!
been doing this for decades and that is the best explanation, showing the waveforms, ive ever had. I GET IT!!!! 🙂
Interesting idea about flipping the polarity to stop the audio going out of phase. I was wondering if you could use the same method to use a single take for left/right panned double tracking to prevent phase issues?
Pro tools needs to go. They charge way too much money for no better user options than other daws. Studio one for 399.00 and it's easier to use. Logic. 200 and reaper 60 bucks. Plus my friend tells me that his pro tools is charging em for upgrades. He's coming over to studio one on the next upgrade fee.
Just found your channel! Thanks for the tip, and I'll be watching more…..Subscribe!
Nice Video, however, it could have been way shorter and more to the point, Just my 2 cents
Clear explanation, thanks man!
Ok, so this may not pertain too much here, but, I record into a mixer with a usb out to my comp, it's not an audio interface, just a mixer. So, I am basically dumping a stereo signal in. I have wanted to try 2 mics on an amp, an e609, and 57. I use the 609 as my regular mic. Would there be any real advantage in using 2 mics since I am only recording to 1 track?
This is the best explanation of this common problem. Thank you!
Hi Graham what if it is not a Problem of 180° Phase? Could think of cases where the 'sweet' Spot would be in between? 0-90° etc…
So what we're hearing initially with both of them is actually the difference between the signals….
This happens to me a lot of the time on my lead tone. I run two amps with small cigar shaped condensers on both and a large diaphragm condenser in the room to get ambients. Once I get all the phasing the way it should be it sounds great.
Being that the waveform looks exactly the same and are lined up extremely well, but inverted, it was probably caused by a mic cable that was wired in reverse polarity.
Do I need phase shifting, when I send one track to the right and the other to the left channel?
Excellent advice brother!! Thank you!
will phase issues like this happen if I double track through a modeling amp?
Thank you for the vids. They are a great resource.
