Finding the "sweet spot" on a speaker (close micing a guitar cab/amp)...
I've read recently after searching, of a method of "finding the sweet spot", which only involved listening on headphones, while moving a mic in front of the speaker, for the location on a speaker where the "hum" was loudest...
Having all my crap jammed into one room, I have to find it with headphones, and my headphones don't have the greatest isolation. I have a pair of more me's(which have much greater isolation), but I seem to "translate" better with the other headphones...
If the above mentioned method is effective, it would greatly increase my efficiency, but it just sounds too good to be true...
Suggestions/experience/or myth busting welcome!
