MBox Micro? Any ideas...

I bring the Mbox Micro up because I am a Cubase/PC user, but I want to learn and MIX in Pro Tools without buying another interface. I own a PreSonus Firestudio and any tracking I will do with that (at least for the near future). I am familiar with Pro Tools but I don't spend nearly as much time on it as I do Cubase.

THE QUESTION:

XY technique with side-address condenser microphones

Hi,

I am trying to figure out the right way to use my AT2020 side address microphones in an XY technique for drum overheads. I just can't seem to understand it by reading articles about it because none of the microphones in the diagrams are side-address.

Also, is XY the best technique the best for drum overheads?

Thanks to anyone that can help me!
