Whats a typical arangement for speaker cones? I
remeber seeing single cone
(obviously) and 2x2.
1, 2, and 4 are the most common. It's common to only
mic 1 of the cones, pretty close up - but it's also common
to do any bizarre combination of mics and placements you can
think of.
Then there's the old Ampeg SVT - the bane of many a bass player's
back. The cabinet had 8 10" speakers, weighed nearly 200 lbs,
and could induce loose bowels at 1000 paces. ;)
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?
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 ;).
