I agree with you mikej. It's the accumulations of a number of things that make up a good mix. Knowing about phase is the same as knowing the compressor/EQ/gate, etc. It's just a part of what we as mixers need to know. Sometimes knowing helps one to avoid creating problems in the first place. That contributes to the over all mix. If we eliminate all the things that are bad for our mixes, what is left? My answer is: the things that make our mixes good. Learning to prevent phase to happen is the same as learning to prevent pumping from the compressor. What hope do we have if we don't know the function of threshold, ratio, etc.? All we need is a willingness to sit down and settle it once and for all. For the sake of education. For the sake of knowledge. And, of course, for the sake of our sanity if not pleasure.
