ok so now that we have a bit on the mics and where to put them,what about getting the phase correct......

we will use this situation so we are all on the same page.

you have 1 4x12 cab and its close mic'd up with these 2 mics;1 sm57 and 1 md421.


there is no ibp either. all you have are 2 mics into 2 pres.

how do you go about getting these in the best phase relation?

i have heard of people talking about moving mics around until the "hiss" drops out.

can someone explain how to do this?

i have also heard people say that as long as the 2 mics are close up on the grill,you need not worry about phase.


are there other methods?
