Instant defeating the purpose with every wiggle of the mics! They're bobbing around a good 1/2 inch. Whatever surface the kit is on needs to be repaired or replaced! |
I remember noticing that too. I just shrugged and figured it was for purely demonstrative purposes, guessing they wouldn't settle for that in an actual session. Then again....
BTW, I occasionally use this setup and it can get a great sound. If you haven't tried it, take a crack at using two different mics. This is actually quite cool. I may even prefer it. Last time I tried this, it was an AT 4047 over the snare and an M160 over the shoulder. Sounded real nice!
