Re: Most engineers record drums out of phase....

And the way many engineers "deal" with these phasing problems, is by using noise gates, furhter degrading sound quality.

The fullest, deepest and most natural-sounding recordings I've ever heard are still the classical "Decca tree" recordings from c. 1959-1969 on the Decca SXL label. Not all of them, but most. Three mikes (usually Neumann M50) placed in front of the orchestra in a (usually) great hall.

Multi-miking is overrated, I agree. I've found that usually, the more recorded channels, the less the chance that the levels will be set correctly at mixdown. With 140 tracks of Pro-Tools audio, people just don't pay much attention to every track any longer.

Best regards,
