Wouldn't you run into phasing issues with those wall mics spread from each other that distance?

well the outcome is grand so i don't think its that bad right?
gonna try it myself to.. see if it works!

I had never heard of that mic schema being called the Kentucky triangle, or some variant of that. Very cool info man! I have been doing the same thing for a few years now with Coles mics. On the Times of Grace tour, my band opened for them in Flint, MI, and I was amazed at how the drums sounded exactly like they did on the album. I had never heard anything quite like that, because at the time I was into more processed drum sounds. That night was a big influence on changing around my style of recording.

No, not at all.

Saw them last saterday, and allthough i was allready getting into the less processed drums because of my The Eye Of Every Storm/steve albini productions addiction this was the last blow hahaha, like you said, drums sounded just like on the record, even better maybe! best show ever sound and musicwise for sure.

And i never heard about the technique before, but hey.. it works for steve, it shoudl work for us right?

I don't understand this picture. Which mics are where?!

 

[Kevin Kitchel]

I'm listening to Seizure right now, and its pretty cool. The Hateflow Virus has a cool Neurosis/Red Harvest riff with HOT FOR TEACHER KICK DRUMS!! Sweet combo! I'd love to hear some recent stuff!

No, not at all.

So 3/1 does not apply at distances that great i suppose, ya?

 

[Kevin Kitchel]

3/1 does apply at any distance. But when the distance is 20', thats a 55 Hz possible cancellation (and much less so at harmonics of that fundamental). Not exactly part of the room mic spectrum.

 

[joeymusicguy]

hard telling what any of these are going through in the mix though

You are right about the possibilty of phase issues between the room mics. You would just have to listen to them in mono and see if you heard any issues.

 

[~BURNY~]

Of course there will be phase difference. The conventional AB micing technique is about phase difference as a part of the stereo imaging.
It's not always an issue.

Great point! Phase difference and time alignment are how our ears tell where sounds come from.

more runtime differences than phase-differences
