Hello! I'm creating orchestral music influenced in Dark Souls or Hollow Knight, and I'm using Spitfire, BBC Orchestra Core, and Cinematic Piano libraries. Both libraries have phase issues. Even before applying any effects, they come with phase problems.
For now, one solution I found to reduce this issue, or at least prevent the meter from reaching negative numbers, is to use Ozone's Imager and sacrifice spatiality and immersion, mainly in the low frequencies. Actually i dont want this, the immersion is very important in that kind of music.
The interesting part starts here. I placed some tracks from Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Baldur's Gate 3 in Logic, and to my surprise, this well-known music has phase problems, and indeed, when made MONO, information is lost. So, what am I missing? Should one be careful with phase only in digital or pop music? I've read a lot about the importance of phase care, but I would like to know about the "importance" of phase in orchestral music or ambient music.
Attached is a Soundcloud link to my track with phase issues. I also take this opportunity for you to provide your opinion on the final mix and master. Greetings!
