Yeah, I know about the mic position getting in the nulls stuff. But still, this last album I tracked (finishing OD's tomorrow, today?!? whatever) had the bass amp and the drums in the same room for basics. I had more hat and snare in the bass amp then bass amp in overheads. Room mics are off limits as they were PZM's on the ground. Bass amp mic was an AT4031 at bass drum level with the null aimed at the drums AND I had a pair of packing blankets over the mic stand and cab. Whatever. It's totally workable in a mix but if you solo the bass amp you can hear some hat and snare sizzle. Take the high shelf at 12khz and dump it all and the hat and snare disappear.
