I've heard a few people mention "the 3 mic led zep technique". Sorry to ask such a dumb question but what is that? Is it 2 overhead and one in the kick. Or is it something complicated?
Thanks, -JMW

I really do appericate the help guys. I'm not having much luck with close micing everything. It's just not a good sound for me. Thanks again

RezN8 said:The thing that really made those sessions happen wasn't just the mike set up - it was Bonham's ability to listen to the playback and adjust his playing accordingly. If he heard one of the toms was'nt loud enough he would hit that one harder to compensate.
Imagine that - actually listening AND adapting!
Cheers, Rez

LOL
If it's singing, I also kind of look like him... so it could be the shape of the head or some weird crap like that.
I'd rather sound like Dio - but thank the heavens I don't look like him!

Stefan Elmblad said:Zeppelin used 6 mics. 2x Kick (beater+front), 2x overhead and 2x ambience (ambience mics not often seen on the photos). Most often being MD421, RE20, 2x C414 and 2x C12 in that order, with the ambience mics being quite some distance away, requiring a big room to do it in.
