And the way many engineers "deal" with these phasing problems, is by using noise gates, furhter degrading sound quality.The fullest, deepest and most natural-sounding recordings I've ever heard are still the classical "Decca tree" recordings from c. 1959-1969 on the Decca SXL label. Not all of them, but most. Three mikes (usually Neumann M50) placed in front of the orchestra in a (usually) great hall.
Multi-miking is overrated, I agree. I've found that usually, the more recorded channels, the less the chance that the levels will be set correctly at mixdown. With 140 tracks of Pro-Tools audio, people just don't pay much attention to every track any longer.
