What GfinS said, Ol-ster... Every one is usin' the tricks and once you know 'um then you begin to make better recordings...

If you recorded in a decent studio the sound guy would be settin' you up right... That's where I learn stuff... Watch how they set mics and what mics they are using...

Ahhhh, not that I have been all that successful myself with with home recordings... But I do understand what these folks are up to...
