Figure 3 - After adjusting the Sample Delay on each track except the farthest microphone, the 4 tracks are moved and with the play head set precisely to the start of the top waveform, the successive wave forms are now in perfect alignment. That maximum reduction is only going to occur when the two signals are in fact at their 'Zenith' or most perfect alignment and should cancel each other out.ДЇigure 2 - Play head placed precisely at the beginning of the first waveform, you can see the obvious phase distortion occurring from the successive waveforms. I would then simply adjust the sample delay up or down until I obtained maximum signal reduction with the inverted phase. I watched the dbs and with the multi meter, I was able to also see the frequency/db meter in real time. I monitored the Multimeter on my main output. Each microphone tested was also checked using Logic's gain plug-in and selecting invert phase to watch the results of my sample settings as they were adjusted. Since I had 5 microphones, I adjusted 4 of the 5 microphones using the Sample Delay on each channel strip, leaving the microphone furthest from the source with no delay of course. Use the Sample delay to move the waveform that starts first, back to the waveform that starts last. Rounik Sethi, Lead Editor for suggested using the sample delay to move the forward microphones back. The farther apart your microphones, the more time lag and thus more phase distortion. The end result is, if you have more then one mic and they are not in exactly the same position, you're most likely going to experience some phase distortion. That tends to 'complicate' things, just a little bit. This would not have been such a big deal with only two mics, but I have 5 microphones in use. The microphones all had a different distance between one mic to another.

A while back I was wrestling with trying to correct phase for my microphone set up.
