Multimic or Siblings how to

@hisefilo I just want to add that aligning phase (especially for multiple mics) is not a simple matter, because different setting can work, it is just a matter of taste...
When using Auto Align, you specify the first mic you want to use as a guide in order to align the other. That is said, the most obvious one is not always what works best (namely the BD)
I often use one of the OH as guide, because it has all the other mics equally in it which makes the detection easier,
Sometimes I align the 2 BD mic to the OH, sometimes only one an then the other on the first I just aligned. One rule: no rules...
But to be honest, the most impotant part is to begin with a good microphone choice, placement, and preamps and even more important, a good room! Otherwise phase alignement won't fix anything... -
@ustk recording was just fine. I guess.
Mics were
- AKG D112.
- Shure Beta 91a.
- Shure Beta 98a/c.
- Shure SM57.
- Shure SM58.
- Shure SM81.
Room was ok also. Not Abbey Road but nice one

@hisefilo Man it sounds awesome! Well done buddy
The ride seems to cut here and there, but maybe because it's played realtime on a keyboard...
But the rest is full and aerial at the same time, clean and punchy -
You may want to consider this tool as well: http://www.e--j.com/index.php/soundfilesmerger/. I have used it as of recently to merge different mic positions, so I only have to edit once. It merges all of the files into channels.

@ustk thanks mate. Absolutely happy with results
