One thing home producers may forget is that great bands ’mix themselves’ both in how they sound and play to get through and be in a sweet spot of the ’live mix’. A bass players tone solo for example may sound quite awful or not so ear pleasing, but cuts through and works just perfectly in conjunction with the band.

The thing though is that depending on the mood of the song and of the arrangement I might favor one or the other. Think about how Nigel Godrich used tons of compression on some of the tracks of OK Computer but it helps to convey a certain vibe. I think your demonstration is interesting because it teaches about the proxy effect and understanding the song you get form positioning a mic a certain way. But in the end if you know what you are doing there is no right or wrong. Bad or good can only be assess in the context of a mix.

This is the closest I've come in 20 years to finally understanding why my acoustics always sound scratchy, harsh and boomy all at the same time. I think I've always mic'd as close as possible in order to try and eliminate as much hiss and room as possible. My rooms have never been treated well due to budget, so I'm constantly trying to cheat my way around it. Now, my NY resolution is: move further away... and finish those acoustic panels...
Thanks so much for all this incredible content man, you've no idea how helpful it is.

This is exactly the way how you should teach sound engineering. Examples, explain what is bad, how to fix it in recording or even mixing phase. Wish there are more videos like this.
