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.
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 ;).
