| I'd also like to ad, that one of my favorite percussion tracks I ever recorded was a Tamborine. With a mic about 3ft. from the player, and a room mic as far away from the player as I could get......about 20ft. or so. And panned the close mic hard right and panned the room mic just a tad to the left.
When you factor in the delay from the distance of the mics, the initial transient of the tamborine was on the right (and made a cool stereo sound with the initial transient of the snare on the left), and the decay of the tamborine was more up the middle.
It's been mentioned here before, but when using 2 mics, if you leave one dry, and compress the other carefully, then pan, you'll create somewhat of an auto-pan type deal.
Hmmmmm.....this has me thinking of trying this out on a clean guitar, picking out a simple arpegio......and with that, I'm off to the studio |
