Im learning that I really like the sound of natural recordings, but I feel like this is a no no on metal/heavy records. Since close mic and tight sounds are the norm do you think fans or the general public would dislike more roomy natural sounds on a record (maybe even subconsciously)?
And on that note does anyone use Omnis for room mics? I feel like the low end on an onmi would work well for big sounding heavy songs. I feel like generally people like cardioids better for this type of thing.
Lastly do you ever use the same room mics on guitar as you did on drums to help it feel more natural. I think I remember hearing Kurt Ballou does this sometimes.
