Techniques: How do you engage your chain?

Forums

I've been thinking a lot about this lately. When I sit down to a project, after listening to it a few times to get a feel for where it wants to go, typically I work in a rather backwards fashion - I'll strap my final limiter down before I start doing anything else, simply because I know that limiter will completely change the entire sound of anything else I do.

Experimenting with mic techniques on a guitar amp

Forums

Could anyone tell me if Micing a cabnet with lets say 2 mics (in this case 1 dynamic & 1 condenser), would it yield any substantial sonic results? Also with such a setup, would it be wise to set the EQ for each mic to a different setting or not a all? And finally, after all of this, would going to dedicated pre's be better than going to the cabinet or doing both be better?

Extreme Mic Techniques

Forums

I am a fellow Audio geek, and I have picked this forum as a main resource. I don't have lots of experience in the field, but there are many people here that do. I am curious to know of some stories about interesting, bizarre, cool and extreme mic techniques that pros like yourself have accidently stumbled upon (I.E.- that article someone posted about using a speaker as a microphone).
