Hi. I'll soon be recording one of the girls in my band. It's a sea shanty type thing. I'm going to assume she will want to do the whole take live (she says she isn't sure yet) I have 3 mics

Nt1a
Rode m3
And a Samson c03

Not an ideal handful of mics really. What would be the best approach here? I'm tempted to go with just one mic! As the accordion is quite loud when played whilst singing. But I would probably end up lacking a nice balance between the bass and treble sides.

Would I need to close mic if using a large diaphragm on one side and a small diaphragm on the other, thus compensating for phase issues. The mics are obviously not matched and are different models.

Hmm?
