Paul! Thanks (as always) for your help on this. So many great pieces of info in your response…and you know i gets funky with my clappin’!
I find it interesting that you suggested moving the iPhone audio back to the left on the X axis to align it with the vibes audio. This was kind of the crux of my question — and it seems like both you and @Dana had a similar response in that I should align the phone with the close mic/mics. I would have assumed that I should actually drag it later in time, which would represent the more natural placement of where the microphone actually was in relationship to the source of the sound? It sounds to me like one thing that’s very important, regardless of milliseconds, is that I get the phasing correct! And the rest I should move it around to see what feels/ sounds the best.
I’ve actually been struggling with this mix because the mic on my guitar amp picked up my guitar faster than the bleed of my guitar amp into the mics on the vibes (and the left hand mic and right hand mic also got the guitar at different times from eachother). So I have sound arriving into all the mics at different times. This type of stuff is a real challenge to me because usually I’m just recording one instrument at a time.
I’ll have some sounds to share soon…
Thanks again for all the info and great advice!
