  Loki,

  Thanks for all the great advice, i've looked
into the xy techniques
 and there is some great stuff there. 
 The only proper advice is to try out and listen. After all, you don't
 want to have a audio measurement cycle, but a good sounding recording.
 Mic placement depends on the kind of recording you want to achieve, e.g.
 we do most of our classic recordings with AB setups. Don't worry about
 phase issues or any other nonsens, just try several setups and listen
 for yourself.

My main question was should I buy some more mics so I can try these
different setups. I've got the idea now that there isn't really any
hard and fast rules and a few different thing might sound quite good.
I think i'll do it on the cheap but grab a couple more mics as I think
we need to get a bit better before the recording is the weak link ;)
Hopefully i'll have some recordings soon for you all to listen too! :)
