Default Re: Phasing??

Phase looks ok, but try time-aligning them sample-accurate.
Use the top one as your reference point.
Align the the first zero-crossing of the others to match track one. (ie. after the first upward cycle as it crosses down over the zero line. Zoom right in, and nudge them by samples.

... and, of course, you'll still have to use your ears ;-)

... not exactly how things are captured in the real-world, but sometimes this can create a nice tight effect - if that's what you're looking for. In the real world - this is part of the art of mic-positioning. Put on a pair of head phones in the tracking room (so that you can hear the relationship between the inside and outside mics) while you adjust the mic position an inch or so at a time.

On a badly recorded kit I often have to do this, and then I use time-adjuster plug-ins . . . using my ears ;-) . . . to recreate the natural spacing between mics as I might have done in the first place.
