    What would you try??

    Recording your stuff I like to keep bits and pieces of stuff too... Use a 'gobo' if you aren't already. It helps to hear the mix in a separate room while the drummer is playing.

    C48 Which one do you need more? Which one would you use more? What kind of condition is the mic in? Is it the real deal? Ask yourself those questions first. The C48 is a good mic.

    phase position

    Testing If you had a nice anechoic chamber, you could use two closely matched mics to record a sine wave or some white noise. Move one of the mics around a little bit while recording.... Record the mics to two separate tracks, and use FFT analysis to show that certain frequencies are being...
