Double Image, first record

Hello everybody ! Check out this tune by David Friedman Called "Rodney's Dream of Fantasy and Self-Fullfilment"! This is from the Double Image first album. This group brought something quite new at this time. The construction theme with alternating elements of different tempo was rather innovative. The solos are great ! The vibraphone solo that play David Friedman is very well built. The phrasing at the beginning of the solo is beautifully legato then evolves with the rhythm section. I think this question depends of the quality of touch.

Mic placement

Hi everyone,

This post is further to my shoutout earlier on...

I've just ordered a pair of SE1as on trial from SE-Electronics.
You can see them here: http://www.seelectronics.com/se1a-pair-mic
They're pencil condensors - perhaps not the perfect mic, but a massive step up from the dynamics I've been using up until now.

I think they come with a stereo bar, so that you can put both mics on one stand, and separate them slightly.

Does anyone set their mics up like this when playing live? Does it work as well as placing them apart?
