How would you go about it? Say for vocals or acoustic guitar.
Middle of the room isn't a good place to be. Also, hypercardioids pick up more sound from behind than a cardioid, although less from the sides. It's kind of half way between cardioid and figure 8. So i don't really know what's better.For ac gtr, use a hypercardioid mic. Much less room sound. Sit in the middle of the room - away from corners. Be creative and come up with make-shift gobos. Move any soft furniture that's around into the corners.
The middle of my rooms are. We're not talking about listening position for monitoring here. We're talking about minimizing ac gtr untreated-room boominess. And, even thinking for a moment about nodes, where's the mic going to be if the guitarist is in the middle of a (usually) fairly small room? Not in the middle.Middle of the room isn't a good place to be.
Have you used hypercardioids on guitar? The rear lobe on the several I have is a very subtle thing, and WAY offset by the very full null at 130 degrees.Also, hypercardioids pick up more sound from behind than a cardioid, although less from the sides.
