Hello everyone,
This good morning I'll keep my update brief since I've been up all night.
Whenever you put a microphone on anything, you should try to put your ear in the exact spot the microphone's diaphragm will be. This is the best taste you'll get of how the track will actually sound, and it'll help you find the elusive sweet spot much quicker. Be careful with amps though...

PS - I was GOING to post an article on how to make your own gobos, but my drill broke and I couldn't get the example gobos built fast enough, maybe for tomorrow though ;)

Ears and mics are different! Get yourself some isolation headphones for like $65. The ear thing only goes so far, you must listen through the ears your recording with: THE MIC!
@Anonymous I would agree with that, but before you introduce the possibility that your mic/preamp/headphones/etc suck, you should find a place where it sounds good in real life... then move on to the isolation headphones :)
