The Logic Off Topic list

Hi Debbie,

perhaps you should subscribe to a mag like Sound On Sound. They provide 
excellent advice on things like that,and as a subscriber you've got 
access to all back issues.
Couple of tips though:
Try the snare bottom mic out of phase. The fact that top and bottom mics 
face in opposite directions could lead to problems on mixdown.
What about a pair of overheads instead of one mic on the ride???
Make sure the drummer doesn't hit the U87!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd use the SM 57 on the tom, the NT2 on the sax, the C 3000 on the 
'bone and the SM 58 on the other tom.
Use your ears and get someone else to move the mics around while you're 
in the control room.

Cheers,

Recky
