I assume they are used for their directionality and to hopefully avoid the inevitable reflections that a tiled wall would result in being recorded in the back end of a more typical cardioid patterned microphone. That said, shotgun mic's do have side and back response, so perhaps my theory is flawed.

I can't work out what mic's they are, I think the ones around the pan are pg 56's

Both, track them separately then you have the flexibility of adding a 'real' reverb if needed.

I must say it is annoying how the room in the house with the loudest acoustics has to be the one where you don't want sound escaping... :ugh:

are they shotgun mics?
I thought they were just standard condensers you'd use as overheads seeing as the rest look to be drum mics. So, not actually all that directional at all!
Could be wrong though, I sure don't recognise em

Got a rejection letter from a company I don't even remember applying to. Can't find any reference to them in my archive of old applications, so I'm assuming the job in question was one I applied to via an agency (who often don't divulge who the client is and just which industry they compete in). If that's the case, it seems really odd that they went to the trouble of writing to me directly.
All right, so I MADE a mistake! ONE MISTAKE!
Can't a man start over?! Do I have to keep on PAYING?! HUH?!
Maybe I should make another mistake! ...maybe TWO more!

Housemate went for useful with my gift this year, 1100 teabags in a catering sized pack. It's fantastic!

Watching my 6 year old nephew trying to pat his head and rub his belly. Each attempt was a funny fail.
