Recording hanclaps

Here's two really great threads on this very topic: here and here.

I reccomend multi-tracking them (if you have the available tracks) I usually use a small diaphragm condenser mic, one that's good at picking up all the highs. When you put down the second track of claps use a different mic and mic placement. Whenever putting down more than one track of an instruemtn I recommend this.
