Oh yeah, I agree, I'm just trying to find out what the big boys do!
I visited your site, looks really good! Your ceilings are 12' do you do alot of drums there? I've been limited to 9.5' ceilings for the last 12 years and I have found that how the drummer interacts with the kit and my learning how they interact with it to be very key in placing the kit mics but especially the overheads.
So I'm on a visionquest for a new recording space
