180 Degrees
When I set up my studio in the small room of my 2-bedroom apartment, I set the drums up with the throne sitting in the corner of the room which made it so I had to cinch my way past the hi hat and snare. Which was a big pain. I set it up that way, because then I could watch the meters while recording. Which really makes no sense because even if there was an issue while recording, it would have been difficult to stop and start it, trapped as I was behind the drum kit.
So I finally turned it around today and it's so much better. I don't know why it took me so long to come around to doing it, but it's a big improvement. I also did something a little different with the mic placement. I'm using my usual SM57 setup, but I've raised the mics up a bit. I wasn't really doing this out of any thought about bettering the sound, but more about getting them out of the way. But, you know what? The loops sound pretty good, if you ask me. Check 'em out in my profile collab area.
