Now you have to embarrassingly admit your mistake and have the band replay, this time with less energy and enthusiasm. You look at the switches on the mandolin microphone and realize it was clicked down to supercardioid mode.
They slayed it! You go to the computer to play the tracks back in solo only to find that the mandolin track includes the banjo, stand-up bass, and acoustic guitar. You go for close miking on each band member to isolate each sound the best you can for mixing purposes. So you make them stand at the four points of a square facing each other so they can jive off each other's energy. Imagine this scenario: you have a bluegrass band that has four members and they want to record live with all four members.
