What are you watching on Youtube?

RE: What are you watching on Youtube?
And now for a less heavy video: the best way to mic a speaker cabinet, as told by Steve Albini.





The basics: 
  • Point the microphone at the center of the speaker (or some sort of equivalent for multi-speaker cabinets) one Holmes Unit* away from the cab.
  • Best mic type to use: a bidirectional ribbon mic with a Figure 8 pattern. If there’s a more powerful side of the figure 8 pattern, use that side to pick up the amp, and the other side to pick up room echoes.
  • Elevate the speaker cab to make it easier to mic.
* The Holmes Unit is an arcane unit of measurement most popular in Southern California in the 1970s and 1980s roughly equivalent to 12-14 inches. The exact length is unknown due to the original prototype being lost on 13 March 1988, but the most commonly cited conversion rate is 13.5 inches.
