Thanks for the advice, all good stuff and very much appreciated. For the "facing the wall" techniques, any polar pattern would be suitable, right? Do the mics need to be a matched pair for this technique? And would LDCs be better or might SDCs be ok? I like the idea of adding delay to make the room sound bigger; I'm sure I read about the Arcade Fire's first album using that technique (and of course Mr Albini talks about this too but for specific drum micing reasons... his room is plenty big enough ). Using verb on room mics is a new one and I'm excited to try that too! Many thanks again! |

even in a smaller space room mics can sound good. if you add some subtle reverb to room mics it can give a greater sense of space & is more convincing than adding reverb to close mics. |
