side mic snare

    did this today with a u87 on a steel rimmed pearl... as well as usual top and bottom mics.

    really brought a lot of body out in the snare. and made it sound more "real" than it normally when tracking.

    word of warning, using 3 mics needed a bit of fiddling with little labs IBP to get the phase relationship right.

    any of you guys ever try this technique on snare or any other drums for that matter? im thinking on a kick/toms it could create a lovely thump.

    ill post something up later in the week once i take the sessions home from work.

    no more spill than any other mic really. its right up against the side of the snare (about 1 inch away).

    does cause phase issues which is exactly the reason for using the little labs IBP.

    not something to try unless you have a similiar hw/plugin.

    voxengo do a good one - http://www.voxengo.com/product/pha979/

    It is an olde school technique ok - at a time when 'unlimited' input or recording chans weren't common a kit might be recorded with 3 (or even 1!) mic so to 'balance' your kit you did what you could, namely move it !

    Here's a vid of it in action -
