yah, it's just me and the singer playing keys for all the Non Drum Noise Making Things. but her PA speakers are on swivel friendly stands so it'd be easy to point them around.
if me and her are loud enough for everybody to hear well enough to play off each other (giggety), does that mean that there's going to be way too much bleed through on the drum mics?
woops, ya forgot no geetr with youss guysss. PLAY SOME TOOL... DAMNIT.
yes, possible bleed-through on the drums if other sounds are overpowering. Kinda trial and error thing.
Also, pointing amps directly into the corner could work out awesome or sucky.... it depends on the "throw" or how the layout of the room handles it. It could spit the sound right back out, like a big deflection (de-felching?? )

If you are good with your mics,...you ought to be able to position in such a way to keep bleed through to a minimum. Pay attention to the pattern that the mic "sees"
+1 to experimentation and trial and error.
I don't know about the Beta52,...but I know the similar AKG Kick Drum mic sucks for bleed through. It get's great low end on bass cabs but yeah,...you pretty much want it in it's own room to keep bleed to a minimum if you are gonna use it outside a kick drum. I'd advocate picking up another SM57 for your bass cab and relegating the 52 to the kick drum. Then grabbing some condensor mics for overheads.
A cheap route for partitions would be checking with offices that may be remodeling and seeing if they are willing to part with some cubicle partitions.
Ron wanted you to know that those Oktiva's aren't cheap. You could probably make some money if you feltch whored yourself out. Not something I would do personally. I don't particularly care for the flavor profile of the feces/sprouts combination.

"if you're gonna go big in the Butthole Yarea, best bring sprouts."
hurm. i thought 57's weren't great with the freq's produced by low B's? i've always liked the 52 on my bass cab 'cause it sounds almost identical to how my cab sounds live. i know the 52's are s'posed to have a mid-cut, but i can't hear it.

57s do have quite a bit of roll-off down below 100 Hz, but so do most cabs
I'm using the AKG P2 right now and I dig it. One of the flattest responding mics I've ever heard.

Thinking about selling my tube amp. Sigh. It's an Eden and it's HOT, but I need money for daycare this summer. Fuck my life. FUCK IT HARD. I could sell my solid state but it wouldn't give me nearly as much money. Why does life have to happen guys? WHY? sigh.
I have to sell that and some books I have which will give me enough to cover it. My compromise to my wife was that in the future I am allowed to make 1 large purchase to make up for it. Of course that's if we have the money for it. hahahaha

I mean; If I had a choice,...I'd keep the tube amp and sell a something as trivial and unnecessary as a spare body part.
Is there a black market for appendices?

I had heard somewhere once that you could sell a testicle to science for $225,000. And they would set you up with a nice fake one. Also, that the remaining ball would double its sperm production to make up for the missing one. But hey, let's be honest, our giblets have done enough already. We should slap our nuts together and try for a cool milion. Fuck, man. I could get my poly back, keep my second fEARful, and get a Reeves Custom 400....oh man....c'mon.

I'm going to have to look into this, because I would totally do that.

My belt has suddenly tightened as well. I love the freedom of irresponsibility but there are things too important to fuck with.

Uh, the Monkey Steals the Peach move looks like the most pansy way to win a fight. But kudos to whoever pulls a man's testicles off another.
