setup your mics just like you would for x/y with cards or hypers...

Mike will be able to help more on when but it's good for acoustic music and onstage tapes.. also FOB

also something that we havent mentioned is equipment you will need the clamp or one similar pictured below. attach the top mic upsidedown to the top of your stand. with the front of the mic at a 45* from the sound source.  attach the clamp to your stand below the top mic. attach the mic (right side up) to the clamp and position it at a opposite 45 degree than the top mic directly under the top mic.

be sure to note which mice is pointed left and which is right.

Donald - LOU= St. Louis. what you don't listen to Nelly??????? "I come from da LOU and I'm proud......" :P

Tim - There's this highschool grad that i hang with and he's got these friends from North county that flow pretty nice like. Although they're still pimpin the gangsta "kill you bitch" image and are hardcore crypts. yes there are still bloods and crypts in St. Louis and yes they still hate each other..... On the brighter side of things there is this group of horn players that play in U. City and they could easily give DDBB a run for their money if they had a drummer! lots of fun in the spring!
