I have no idea if that was aimed at me or Andrew, but I did kinda want to start a thread about this.
I find that the further I go down the rabit hole the more I can notice smaller details. Mic placement on guitar cabinets is a place where I've also found that I have grown in that regard. But it really depends on the player I find. If I have a great player with great tone, then spending 5 minutes trying to find the best place for the mic may not be a good way to spend 5 minutes. If on the other hand I have a not-so-great player, then I may need to compensate by squeezing every extra bit of mileage out of the gear that I can to compensate for this. This is nto to say I won't play with mic placement with a great player. It's just that I find myself having to dick around a LOT less in those cases.
Come to think of it, I bet the same can be said of most instruments.
Thoughts?
