Makes a world of difference having the right mic for the right job.

I've been tempted to hire people in my band on the basis of having recording know how. That's the problem with having talented musicians, they tend to entirely forgoe all the gack involving electricity. The only problem I find is getting 'producers' (which at this stage is just mates with 16-tracks/ DATs/ Fancy ribbon mikes) who're sympathetic to ideas like not close-miking drums (I really hate that except for with tuned percussion, which we use rarely).
