But tell me something: I see here that many people uses the t.bones as a mono OH, but, why mono? isnt the result better in stereo? i know its the vintage kind of thing, but? And i saw many people using it like mono Room mikes too. The thing is that, when you abuse with the compression on a mono room mic, the cimbals, on the overheads decay to the center of the stereo. its a little bit weird. I think its better to go, OH stereo and room mics stereo, or, OH mono and room mics mono.
What you think?
Cheers
We went for the mono oh because this band is looking for a really old school sound, no tom mic, no snare mic, just front of kick , ohs and the Tbone as mono oh/snare mic about 1m30 above the snare. When using a mono oh I spend quite a bit of time with mic placement to avoid phase problems, this was a pretty quick session (4 songs in one day) so the placement wasn't as good as it could've been but I think it sounds ok. This sample here is un mixed and a little messy , just volumes and pans ( the Tbone went through Audient pre and 1176 on the way in but I wasn't hitting it too hard) and verb but I think it can give you an idea of what the Tbone can do, the Tbone is off to the left as they want the drums mostly on one side and the solo gits on the other.
