I posed this twice last night but it didnt go through for some odd reason.
Anyway, I am reading a tutorial on how to record an amp with two mics. This guy suggests to use a LDC about 5-6in away from the center cone of the amps speaker. He then says to place a 57 on the grill of the speaker off axis.
He says you should notice that the two mics are out of phase and you should go move the 57 until it sounds like an airplane and becomes in phase. Now wouldnt it just be easier to tell us the right spot is 5-6 back offaxis so its hitting the mic at the same time as the ldc? Should I keep the 57 there and change the phase afterwards? I like to be able to monitor my sound before hand.
Can anyway help me get my two mics in phase but keep one 5-6in back and one close to the grill?
