Recording with Measurement Mics
James Price wrote:
When recording a cab with a measurement mic, how much difference does the
position (rather than distance) across the cone make, or does it
really matter since it's omnidirectional?
A tremendous, tremendous amount. The microphone is omnidirectional, but the
speaker isn't.
Even more interesting than the guitar amp is the violin. Get in one direction
and it's all string noise, move a few inches away and it's all from the body.
And that doesn't just go for close miking.... even many feet away the sound
coming out is very different in different directions.
