Home based recording studio

If you mic close enough and use cardioid mics, it will reject the room reflected sound.

But if you close-mic with cardioid mics, you'll have to deal with proximity effect. On some sources, and in some cases (e.g. vocals going for a certain sound) this can be desirable, but mic everything this way and stack it and you'll end up with a muddy mess.
