Hi all.
I'm hoping that I can get some advice from you guys.
Up until recently I was using a Blue Yeti USB mic to record. I got some great tones out of it, but i couldn't turn the amp up too loud or it would overload.
I recently picked up an audio interface and an SM57 off of ebay and have started fooling around with it and I can get some good tones.
What I would like to do is use the yeti as a room mic and mix it in with the close mic 57.
So i recorded both streams and tried to mix them in reaper.. with utter disappointment. the 57 was recorded thru the audio interface and into reaper using the proper drivers. the usb mic was recorded into the software that i use to record video. I then extracted the audio stream from the video and imported it into reaper.
either of them by themselves sound pretty good, but when i mix them they sound hollow and out of phase. i've tried flipping the phase switch for the track in reaper and it only makes it worse.
I've tried putting both mics on the same speaker and putting them on different speakers with the same results. I've tried close micing with the yeti and moved it back about 6 or 7 feet and no difference.
Is there something fundamental that I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Tim
