So here's a suggestion. Rather than stopping with "my people are better than your people", how about adding some knowledge on what you think the better way is? Raising the level of our recording skills will help us all.
Oh, I’m more than happy to share my opinion like everyone else. I’m completely 100 percent trolling this clown because he gets butt hurt when people DO try to help. And if you disagree, that’s cool! I only share what I’ve learned and what I’ve experienced personally.
But since you asked:
This is somewhat of an opinion but it’s somewhat not: 2 microphones on one source will never be perfectly in phase, ever. Despite what anyone tells you, it’s impossible to get things perfectly in phase. However, sometimes this is wanted ! No problem with that whatsoever. The black album guitar tone for instance, is phase city, but that is part of that sound, and a big part of why that tone sounds the way it does. But, this album was also put together by people who knew exactly what they were doing and why. There were microphones at perfectly calculated distances in the room, underground tunnels that were used for reverberation etc. this is a really extreme example, because none of us here are doing that, but I’m just illustrating a point. Two microphones on one source will never have the punch and transient attack that one microphone will on one source, it’s simply physics: with phase cancellation, comes loss of frequencies, which equals loss of punch. Again, not always a bad thing, but here’s the point: if you are blindly putting up two or more microphones on a guitar cabinet when you can’t even get a great sound with one, it’s never going to be better with two, it just causes more problems. So my point as it always is, is get the best tone possible with one microphone, learn how to get great tones with one, learn how minuscule microphone movements impart a huge tonal shift in your tone, and then build upon that knowledge. After all, ALOT of our favorite guitar tones on this forum are done with one microphone in a great spot. That’s all I’m saying. And then as you build knowledge, start adding microphones because you are specifically looking for something different and you know exactly why your doing it and what you are looking for, instead of doing it blind.
As far as sharing knowledge, the vast majority of my posts on this forum have been nothing but that. I get flooded with PM’s asking for help, and I love helping others if I can!
