Actually that's quite a distance ;-) Really, spot miking can come in handy. Sometimes you want to capture an intimacy that can only be had at close distance, e.g. with the flutes on my Zen-album (http://flow.blumlein.net/010_gb.html) I wanted to preserve the very soft blowing sounds. I even used the sound of breathing / the air with nearly no tone to bridge separate tracks. Almost inaudible yet more substantial than the dither-noise (I picked for this release). > Audio people act as if the master were the word of God. > But the master is in fact usually lousy. With sonophiles, people who take sound seriously, the high resolution master is fine and certainly better than most versions that can be released on traditional carriers.
