Slowing becoming un-noob.
I was searching around the internet looking for answers and I came across this site.

http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/

It has Tons of info. I was looking at it for drum mic placement and such, but I found TONS more.

Just thought I'd share the joy.

Check it out. Let me know if it helps you, or if I'm just an idiot.

I attended SAE Sydney back in '88, spent a ton of money on a twelve month course and really didn't learn jack! :confused:
 
some pretty useful stuff from what i see. If you guys want some addition info, i go to college for this stuff and i could upload some of my PDF's sometime.

That sounds like a great idea as long as you're not infringing on a copyright.

Yeah, definitely. As long as it isn't illegal like Morningstar was saying.

That would be awesome.

What I've noticed from a lot of engineering schools is that they teach you the "how" and not the "why". When you graduate, you know all the shortcuts in ProTools and you have an effective miking strategy. This is stuff you can learn on your own with experience and from books. However, knowing why you're doing what you're doing is often overlooked, and much more difficult to learn on your own.

The trade schools (AI, SAE, etc.) don't usually teach you the technical side of engineering (acoustics, being able to listen on a more critical level, and how gear works) whereas most universities strive for this level of education, in one form or another AND you get a bachelor's degree of some form. Pretty much everything you learn at a trade school can be picked up during an internship at your local studio, so it amazes me when people spend their money on these trade schools.



Anyway, thanks for posting the website, it's always good to get a fresh perspective on miking.
