Here are some clips These are all done in a room that is approx 12 feet square with about an a 9 foot ceiling (our living room/practice space):
Drums: about 5 feet in front of the kit, sort of off to the right of the kick, 7 or 8 feet up. Bass guitar bleed is bleed from the next room
Acoustic guitar: dummy at head-level, guitar player walking around room.
3 piece band: dummy at head-level, off to right hand (bass player) side, facing drummer.
Vocal: head-level, vocalist walking around dummy.
Electric guitar: 7 feet back and 7 to 8 feet up, guitar is a jaguar thru a super reverb, but the super is feeding two cabs instead of the normal 4=10 speaker arangement. Cabs are both open backed, one is a 4x12 and the other is a 2x12, cabs are about 10 feet apart. I think you can hear the guitar player's pick hitting the strings too, he's standing to the right of the dummy.
The head is Styrofoam covered in rubber. It has hair (we gave it a stupid haircut). The mics were cheap (only $25 each). Preamps used are boring crap (either built in to my tascam interface or a little mackie mixer).
And that's about it. It was weird drilling holes into the mannequin's head I guess.
