the 3:1 rule doesn't apply to this situation, it's for when
you're recording a single point source with 2 mics that are
seperated by a distance (mic to mic) of more than 1 unit (from
the closest mic to the source) apart. this doesn't even apply to
a split omni becuase the mic-to-source distance is equal for
both mics...

Anyone got a line on any recent Bill Nelson shows? If so, please get in touch with me for a divine trade.

For a cheap figure-8, mix the two channels of an AT-822/825 out of
phase.
