Yup, the overheads are one of the last places you want to skimp...that much is true. But the guy said he was looking for a 70's/80's funk vibe and most of that stuff has mono drums. Dig out your old Sly & Familys Stoned records, The Meters, Average White Band etc. and take a good listen. The drums are either mono, semi-stereo (10 & 2) or even panned all the way to one side.


That's true, but he also mentioned Pink Floyd...which is a pretty big/wide sound with a blend of 'stereo' ambient and close micing. Either way though, as there are no rules. thumbsup
