New door and opener. :-) Got to keep my sweat heart happy. Happy wife = Good life

Just got home to enjoy a bite of dinner and saw that you had left a note. I don't have that LJ recording but I will get it and I've have never listened to the youtube samples, but I will. LJ Guitar Noir was recorded here; "Zipper Auditorium at the Colburn School for Performing Arts on Grand...

Yes, the best is still to have a great hall/sound, place a stereo pair or deca tree (there is another pre engineered setup, distance between, angle, mic combination..) in the best sounding/representative position and capture at good resolution. My objective is this first but I usually have...

Yes, I absolutely love the Blumlein figure eights in a great room. I also have great respect for ORFT and tweaking the angle in anticipation for the speaker playback sound field. I have used it very successfully on string quartets and String quartets with piano. One set for the string quartet...

Well I usually learn something "audio" related every day. And that is what I enjoy very much. But I'm only 63. Alan Blumlein is usually given credit for most of the development but Mr. Olson was certainly there plus lot's a Decca and RCA people from the 1930's up. I enjoy listening to the RCA...

Good morning Rob. "what for?" Well I try to record as many acoustic performances in a great sounding environment and this allows me to capture a lot of the interaction with the room and place that in a ratio that represents what it sounds like in that environment. It is not about close mic'ing...

For certain. You have to set them know what you want for the center, or the mid point. For solo, classical guiatr I have used M_S infront of the guitar and where I like the balance and added two omni spaced pairs 45 cm each side of the M_S.

Well it is a bit more complicated than tonal differences. It more like replicating how we hear the instrument unless someone is deaf in one ear. Musicians understand it when I tell them to cover one ear while I strum a guitar in front of them. AIX records has used the technique for a long time...

When you zoom in and look you should find only relatively minor differences unless something is widely wrong. As per your example of M-S, I can’t perfectly align the capsules but I can make a very fine offset on one to correct it. And as you observed there is a much larger difference on multiple...

Good morning. I use a lot of stereo micing techniques and I always zoom in one each and check alignment between the two. That stops the creation of offsets between the two and tells you how accurately you have located the mics. In other words correction at the beginning before mixing (therefore...
