Multiple Mic Techniques
Forums
There have been several threads on this subject throughout time here at R.O. and I feel that it is an important subject as many are using or attempting to use multiple mics on single sources or in some cases, for example, a singer songwriter performance where you have two sources effecting two or more mics at a time.

Vocal Normalization... Done In Mixing or Actual Mic Technique?

Creating Impulse Responses using MS Micing technique.
Forums
So, I sometimes use the SIR1 plugin for reverb (its free!). It takes impulse responses of different locations around the world to simulate reverb. You can even make your own, which I did. I took a pair of SDC's and recorded them in XY inside a giant staircase in my school. It sounds pretty cool.
To make a larger stereo-spread reverb, can I use the M/S technique? I just got a figure-8 ribbon. If I did this, could I just use the doubled side tracks (being flipped phase of course), or do I need the mid too? Or is it whatever I want?
mic recording techniques for drums

I've got a hankering to try some three mic recording techniques for drums. Here's what I have to work with:

Blue Yeti microphone peaking
Forums
Hello,
I'm currently trying to do some vocal recording with my new microphone (blue yeti - best mic I could afford etc etc).
My problem is I have a rather large voice (professional classical singer) and I'm not sure how to set hardware/software up so I don't peak as much while I try and record assorted pieces.
I'm using Adobe Audition with the Blue Yeti.
Any input or thought provoking questions would be helpful!
Thanks a ton
