I made this recording to demo out a song I'd like to play with a couple friends coming Monday. It's the song I've rewritten several times and recorded several and mixed hundreds over the last couple years, but suddenly it's a very different song that I like.

But what I'm doing different is adding a room mic on everything. I didn't mix this at all, it's straight up no effects, but I like the dimensionality that comes from the extra mic. That's probably my new way.

Anyway, I'm interested what you think:

It's nice and airy.

I put the extra mic (another c414) on Omni about four feet away. Also my room has a couple 4x 8 sound panels now that flatten the sound but there is still some good reflection from cement floor

I used the extra c414 set on Omni for on guitar track, vocals, and the Tom drum.

Subtle but better dimensionality

Have you ever tried MS micing? I find it can really make some things open up and sound great, especially acoustic guitar.

Good discussion here

What's distorting?

I mean, I think it generally sounds nice, but there are vocal peaks that fuzz up pretty good.

Yeah, I musta overloaded the near or the far C414 on that vocal, but I might keep it anyway. It has a lot of realness. Not sure. This was to demo out for the guys coming tomorrow, so I may do it live with them, but I like this demo and we may just add a little to this.

This song about stopped all my projects for a couple years. The song and I went through a lot of changes.

Thanks for listening and commenting, guys.

Hey Bear, I tried that micing technique. Way better than what I was doing. Same room sound, no phase issues. Very cool. Going to be standard technique around here now. Thanks.

Cool I am glad you tried it

I built this little adapter to hold two mics to make it easier
