Yanno... I've known about all of these techniques for a while from various articles and vids but this is the most concise and helpful by far. The audio on it is excellent and you can REALLY hear the effect the different techniques have whereas ones I've seen before it was hard to really get an idea of the differences. I don't have the greatest mics so little things like this are helpful. Fortunately I do have a matched pair of condensers so I can actually try this stuff.
I'm kind of wondering if some of these concepts can help with my vocals too which generally sound not so pro because of the low grade mics. I already use two mics anyway to beef things up.
One of the Bakers did a really nice article on mic'ing acoustic guitars for the CakeBlog a while back (Dan?). I'll see if I can dig it up.
Ah... here it is:
