So.. Lets say you've got 2 pencil condensors (like the neumanns you mentioned)..

and you stick them between a tape box. Or even a balloon or whatever. What direction do you place the mics in to capture binaurally.


I read somewhere that you generally record drums in a small room. Do you find that binaural recording gives you something that traditional overheads might not capture in that small environment?

This would particularly useful for me, as I record my drums in a small room. But having recorded in an old cinema yesterday, I realise I'm missing something in my recordings.

Cheers!
