Yup, but for starters, one dynamic mic at a selectable position along the front I think. > The main trick with mic placement is that, when you close mic > a speaker, it sounds very different in the middle than it > does near the edge. Have you played with this much? Not a huge ammount. I owned an amp for a while (now I own a battered box that smokes and sparks when plugged in and some interesting looking bits). There is a guy who sells amps in my street, so I'm consider going and picking up a cheap one. My provisional plan is to measure the boundary and cone position effects with my dynamic and a nearfield monitor. The monitor wont give me eqivalent results, but there are fewer variables. > > The killer plugin would model the acoutstics of a studio when you've just > > got in from the pub, its 2am, you've just created a really great sound and > > you're too drunk to find a blank DAT ;) > > It would have to call an at script to make it sound awful when you > next come in to the studio ;).
