who here uses room mics in combo with close mics for drums. just curious what you do. i have not for the longest time, then, by accident i recorded some room with an sm58. it really added alot of depth to the drums. i typically set an sm58 in the live room on a stand for talk back. i accidently armed the track that it was routed to so it got recorded. needless to say, i used that mic for the rest of the session. this is an idea i had for a room mic. i have a mic that i can use in a figure 8 patern. could this essentially be a "stereo" room mic if i decode the signal by duplicating the track, reversing the phase then panning them hard? like the mid side techniqe? or do i absolutely need the center mic for this to work. what do you guys do for room mics?
