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


This ones almost too easy...




Turn the speakers upside down.

I'd thought of that but then realised it wouldn't translate too well on another system.

Clip flipping is where it's at.

Check you tweeters are sealed though, I once leaked treble all over a nice mahogany table.

Be aware that when you flip the signal for the primary recorded sound to make it upright, any sound in the background will get flipped as well. This can have unintended consequences as what used to happen with backward masking like causing your studio intern to get you an ice coffee rather than hot coffee as the sound gods intended. 
Sadly I do not have an intern and thus must accept the blame myself.

Hanging the singers by their feet from the ceiling would solve the upside-down clip problem, too.

I can think of a few singers that not hanging by their feet would solve some problems too

I don't like to have my mics upside down.

I just stand on my head when I record Vox.

The singers think it's a funny way to engineer, but hey...... whatever works, roight?

I can foresee issues with this technique should you happen to be recording in zero-g...
