Dual-Mode Example
Figure 95 shows how to use both Re-Mic and Reverb modes with two in-
stances of the plug-in, combining the workflows of the two previous examples.
The illustration combines a drum submix is being used for Re-Mic mode, while
send/return routing is being used for guitar and vocals in Reverb mode.
Phase
Considerations
When recording in the physical world, it is possible for phase issues to man-
ifest when more than one microphone is used on a source. The sonic charac-
teristic of “phasing” (more accurately called comb filtering) results when fre-
quencies that are being captured by more than one microphone are
emphasized because they are summed (signals in phase) or de-emphasized
because they are canceled (signals out of phase).
Phase issues resulting from the use of multiple microphones can usually be di-
minished by simply adjusting the placement position(s) of the microphone(s),
or switching its signal polarity.
Phasing with Ocean Way Studios
Phasing is intrinsic when recording with multiple microphones. Because
Ocean Way Studios accurately models the acoustic space and the micro-
phones within the space, it is possible for the plug-in to sound “phasey” due
to phase issues if the controls are not properly set, especially in Re-Mic mode
(phasing is generally not an issue in Reverb mode).
