Hey, a while ago I saw a link someone posted to a site that had a bit of detail on many ways of stero mic'ing with two (some techniques had 3) mics. It wasn't specifically for overheads, but that's what I'm looking for. If anyone can repost that link, that'd be great.
 
Well basically with two mics you have the following options:

Coincident pair: Two mics with their diaphrams placed as close to each other as possible.

Near-coincident pair: Two mics placed 7 inches apart, to represent the space between human ears.

Spaced Pair: Two mics spaced apart, using a 3:1 ratio from their source.

Then you can work with your polar patterns to create special micing techniques like bluemline and soo on, but I'm lazy so I'll leave that for you to search about.

(It's 4am, sorry if this post made no sense.)
 
That's the one I was remembering, thanks.

And thanks to the other post too, although I already know the theory of it. I just wanted the link so I could get hold of the names. Not much use, but I wanted it as a reference.
