I is not smart when it comes to the ‘tronics, but won’t there be some impedance/phase blah blah tronicky-talk bad things that will happen with that Y cable at around 12:00? Phase would be an issue if the mics were both wired identically and the cable was wired 1:1. You'd need to swap the two signal pins on one of the XLRs so that the mics would remain in relative phase. Impedance would be much less of an issue with most mics I would think, but it does raise an interesting question.. When you have two coils driving a circuit, they would interact with each other to some degree, in some kind of push-pull arrangement. It might affect their response, but I'm not sure in what way. There shouldn't be any issues with two mics driving a single mic pre though. I've done it myself for fun over the years and never really experienced a problem. It just wasn't really a solution either since I couldn't adjust the levels independently. |

But maybe the thing that the OP likes about the sound actually IS the phase interaction. |

He reversed the polarity on one of the signals.

cademan7 this is a super cool thing to do and you are super good at it. Do some ELO!

Love it. This reminds me a little bit of Scary Pockets who has less of a "production and recording" angle and more of a live reinterpretation. They're huge now, I think you have your own product to expand on. Maybe more cool cameos like your sister. She rocks. I'd love to hear you two do "Middle of the Road" by the Pretenders.
