Re: mic'ing technique

If you're following the 3-to-1 rule (2nd mic should be at least 3
times the distance from the source as the 1st mic) then any comb
filtering is more a function of the sound of the room. Creating a
good sounding recording space is a whole 'nother can of worms. Also a
potentially expensive can of worms, although a creative DIY kind of
guy can get a lot of mileage out of common household stuff like
overstuffed chairs and couches (poor mans' absorbers) and bookcases
with many different sizes of books and some gaps (poor mans'
diffuser). I've built most of my own acoustic treatment relatively
inexpensively.

I've always pointed the SM-57 right at the cone, but off axis.
It always sounds just like what I want to hear when I do that.
I usually hate hearing room sound. It's like having a bad sounding comb
filter in my FX loop.
