Tips & Advice

You might read suggestions in forums that a good way to position microphones is to plug one ear and move the open ear around a sound source until is sounds good, then put the mic there. This method works as a starting point, but take the time to double check the sound through your monitors, while the mics are moved around. Your ear doesn’t work the same way as a condenser mic. In the end you have to listen to the overall sound source live and then double check through mics, because the mics — not your ears — will capture the sound.
