But something I've come to realise is that there are specific points in space where this will work and won't work. To illustrate: visualise two circles surrounding both kick and snare, with kick and snare being the centre of each circle. Depending on the size of each circle, there are only two specific points where the two circles meet - ie have equidistance to both kick and snare.
If anyone wants to PM their email address to me I can email you this diagram to show you what I mean. |
I believe I know what your diagram is showing without seeing it.
Yes, there are two points in space if you think in two dimensions. However, when you think in three dimensions, there is a whole plane of space slicing through at any angle you choose. This whole plane allows you to put the mics anywhere on a circle being transcribed by the string. The two points that you are seeing in your two dimensional diagram would connect to be the diameter of that circle.
Of course, you can't put the mic anywhere on the circle because some part of it transcribes into the ground. If you still can't see it, try imagining this circle standing vertically with the endpoints at where your two points are drawn on your diagram.
