The point everyone's trying to make can best be summed up by Joe Meek: "if it sounds right, it is right."

You have to decide what's working and what's not, you know what I mean? There are rules like the 3:1 ratio that generally helps with phasing for spaced pairs. This is a rule that's good to follow - for spaced pairs. And there are other generally "technically" correct rules to follow depending on what you're doing as well, but the bottom line is: these rules can all be altered and/or completely broken depending on the sound/mix that you're building.

Always use your ears and your heart... they are the best tools to tell and teach you. =)

God bless - B
