What? You mean shit comes out?
Oh, I get it - Australia is in the bottom of the world, and gravity pulls it down from the northern hemisphere.
An amazing series of articles about miking amps and miking acoustics

We are a strange and wondrous country, with many charming differences... plumbing just one...
I read on the weekend that in the US of A, you can't hang your washing out to dry... surely that's not true?
Oh... I'm supposed to be talking about miking guitars...
And, for the record, GarpJarp has posted here before with similar links to the Gibson site.. "GarpJarp" when pronounced phonetically in Danish, actually sounds like "Gibson"

No, no, no......you've got it all arse up.............
You guys in OZ and the UK could save yourselves some time by just calling it "ass", like us Americans. You'd save one letter each time you type it. That adds up as much as you guys use the word.

Yeah but arse is so much cooler! And to be fair, the English (who also say arse more often than not) DID invent the language...

Typing "ass" given the frequency with which we use the word is more likely to result in repetetive strain injury because (a) the double s - can result in microtears in the hand muscles and tendons, and (b) the word comes around more quickly exactly because it's short, resulting in even greater risk of the microtears.
It's well known that most of the greatest guitar players in the history of the world were English, rather than American.... the sole reason for this is that you Yanks crippled yourselves typing "ass" all the time and so have reduced dexterity, while the Poms, who type "arse" (which is much more ergonomically satisfying - type it now, it's like a little left hand practice session for your fretting hand) still have fully functioning fingers and so are capable of much more interesting and complex passages....
Australians, being pragmatic individuals, simply did an analysis on what was in their best interests and voted for "arse".....
All of this is true, I swear....

In that case, I'll be a nation of one and begin typing "arse" as well. That begs a question or two (or three) though:
1) For the sake of consistency, should I also use "arse" when speaking? (I do sometimes already...)
2) What patterns in my guitar playing would be most likely to show improvement?
3) And if it's "arse," is it also "arsehole?"
So much to consider in my quest for improvement...

Typing "ass" just makes one of our fingers faster.
And give us a break: we're a pretty fucking young country! Haha

Nobody noticed the incorrect description of the three-to-one principle in the articles on acoustic gtr mic'ing?
3-to-1 applies to mic's on different sources that are going to be summed to a single channel. It doesn't refer to two mic's on the same source. This has been discussed so much at HR that I'm surprised it got by.

It's a well known fact that all great guitarists who were/are English are quite slow in comparison to some of the best American guitarists. With the exception of Yngwie Malmsteen, who wants to be as cool as most Americans anyway.
Maybe you need to learn the technique of "sweep typing" or "hammer on typing", which is more ergonomic.

Yeah, that would be just as bad as saying a spaced pair on an ac gtr should follow the 3:1 principle.

has anyone ever tried 'corner loading'?
i use the 12th fret spaced pair technique with a baby bottle and a $150 mxl that picks up good low end without booming to bad. it seems to work better than anything else ive ever tried.

Maybe this is one of things I should know, but I don't. Care to elaborate? Thanks!

Ok, this totally out of it- but relates.. We did a 'garden party-acoustic wing ding' sat. (no amps) playing half in, half out front of this little wood shack with double doors opening to like a small porch/deck- (not big enough for everyone to be out front at once so we 'shuffled --and drank
a lot but that's another story...Standing at the back edge of the doorway, Taki' firing partly into this unfinished wood wall- was the best damned acoustic monitor I'd ever want. Full, deep and articulate. Case in point, FWIW.
