Hello,
I am trying to get some advice on setting up two mics to record 4 people in conversation for YouTube. We will be sitting around a square table and I have a mic stand to position the mics above the table.
I have one cardioid (Zingyou BM-800) and one mid/side stereo (Shure MV88) mic to use for this and no budget for new equipment.
My original thought was to use the cardioid (Zingyou) to record one person and then the mid/side (MV88) to record the other three (mid->person 2, left side->person 3, right side->person 4). I am unsure how to properly mix the raw mid/side recording from the MV88 to best separate/clarify each of the 3 voices being recorded if I were to set up the mics this way.
I am using Logic Pro X for mixing. I know that the raw mid/side recording from the MV88 will be stereo where the Mid mic=Left channel, and both Side mics=Right channel. Is there a way to separate the information from the left and right side mics that are recorded in the one channel? I would like this to sound as if each person has their own mic. Or at least as close as possible.
Thanks for any help or advice.
