Phase flip

If you are going to try to flip phase it is important that you make sure that the mic is equidistant from each speaker. Also as Fletcher stated it will be important to have a consistent monitoring level regardless of which way you do it. The first time I did vocals with speakers instead of phones we set up in the tracking room a pair of Altec A7s, three singers around a 67 and I was impressed with the results. The additional benefit of using the setup in the tracking room is that like some of the others the speaker out of phase thing makes my head want to implode.
