Following up on the earlier thing..
It's great to have examples of what worked well for others, but I bristle a bit when I've made not only something of an effort to explain why something can work, as well as pitch a tent big enough to accommodate different view points, then someone comes in and repeatedly says, "no, don't do that!" without making any effort to discuss it. This is a discussion forum not a textbook.
TS is great partly because we all for the most part respect each other and are willing to talk about why things work rather than simply saying 'this is the only way it should be done' without any follow up. There is more than enough of that on other forums. I respect most everyone's opinion here at TS and look forward to hearing of their experiences. If I disagree about something I'll try my best to explain why, and hopefully a productive conversation grows out of it.
Page you've long earned my respect as one of the most helpful members here to myself and others, and that certainly is not directed at you. Although I love clear pinpoint imaging, it is not the most important thing for me in my recordings. I rank emotive content and a sense of 'you are there' highest, and the things that support those aspects such as clarity, timbre, ambient balance, and envelopment higher than razor-sharp imaging- which as much as I really enjoy it, seems to me to be something of an artifact of stereo playback, more than something vital to the music listening experience (I won't use the term accurate, as I feel no recording is that), though I'd always prefer to have it all including great imaging.
Viva la difference.
BTW the samples of mine I think you were referring to earlier certainly did had some slight phasing going on, but that wasn't because of the 3-mic technique used. It was the interaction of the 3 mic array with an ORTF pair a few feet farther back in the room, added as a conscious choice for the cymbal sheen, guitar depth, and sweeter room ambience it provided which I felt was worth the slight phasing that probably only people like us who seriously listen for those type of things would notice. That tradeoff was the top one in my mind when mixing that. Thanks for being an astute and valued mirror.
