So, if I try that, then how do I get vocals flipped back to right side up?

Rotate the clips 180 degrees then flip them horizontally.

I do it all the time.

It will mean the 'shiny' side of the clip is at the back but you shouldn't be able to hear it if you dim the lights a bit.

you noobies.. it was because in the day" tube mics were used, thus upside down the heat from the tube didn't affect the diaphragm because the element was below the tube heat rise up ... you young interns have so much to learn in these days solid state mics doesn't matter....

be more concerned with reflections , use a commercial or home made baffle, SE ELECTRONICS, etc...

Is that real? ... I thought that was an old wives tale.

Old wives hang their mics upside down.

I don't understand.

Have a look at you soundcard mixer. The top/bottom invert is next to the phase invert botton on my roland quad-capture's control panal.
 
ALternativly, you can make an adaptor from a male and female stereo (balanced) jack, then plug them in and rotate one. I've seen guys try it with XLR connectors, but there's no way to rotai=te the male without rotating the female, so they both top/bottom invert and cancel out

You hang your old wife's tail upside down?  Is she ok with that???
