When I record anything with a mic, the mic is back from the monitor and I am facing away from the monitor..... the monitor is to my right side.

Comb filtering not only happens from the reflected surfaces..... and actually this is the less obvious form since the reflections are generally much much lower than the sound primary source.... depending greatly on the type of mic used and distance to the source and reflective surfaces.....

The more obvious comb filtering happens when tracks are cloned (exact copies) and recorded twice or more and layering is used. Many folks use the quick and dirty clone and nudge to try doubling. The danger here is that you have 2 or more very strong primary sources mixed together and the comb filter can be very obvious in this situation as the tracks and their material and frequencies interact with each other. You hear it when people do vocal doubling the wrong way.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
