I think both of you (Roy&mixinthecloud) are missing the point. 2 things I want to maybe have a small debate with if you don't mind. First, there is no way you can come up with an out of phase of anything that sounds better than when they are in phase. It's just fact. If they sounded better than one another, one of them must be in phase. That is how important phase is; it determines (dictates) which one for you. You actually have no choice. Second, "if it's good, keep it," sounds simple enough, but let me challenge both of you to define "good" for me. I bet tho we prob have the same definition but our sounds will be diff. Why is that? My last mix the kicks are completely out of phase, yet the kick, at the time, sounded beautiful to me but both of you rejected it. The one before it the kicks were in phase but buried deep in the mix. So if I listen to you, mix 5, the one you rejected, is the one to keep. This is my attempt to remove the word "good" from your statement. It doesn't work. It doesn't mean the same to all of us.
Usually when we make assumptions about things we should weight it carefully so that our assumptions dont come back and bite us in our bhine, right? I am looking at you, Roy. Just bc I am here posting stuffs doesn't mean I am not diligently practicing mixing. I love mixing. And yeah, man, I have this stupid desire to want to know everything, yep, that's the key word, everything, about it. Such an impossibility, but we did think like that in the past about going to the moon. There is a scientific explanation for it somewhere that I (and perhaps we) do not fully understand. I will leave no stone unturned. Learning new things is fun.
Another maybe more personal thoughts. If we don't discuss about technical stuffs in mixing here, what do we talk about? I'd love to talk about my gf and how she harasses me when I am trying to concentrate to mix. But then there are other sites that handle that, right?
Your advice, both, and only my opinion, is deeply unsatisfying. So we just leave it like that knowing we can do something about it? Turn a blind eye to it, pretend it didn't happen? Sure I can do it too, super easy to do, but I am not you. I will be, tho, only when the argument is convincing. Right now it is not. It explains nothing. Any thoughts?
