I just wanted to say thank you for your recent help with miking my piano using a apir of SD condensers. I employed the techniques you suggested from here and I think the results were outstanding. If you have a moment to listen to the short piece, and give me your thoughts, I'd be grateful.

Most apparent to me, aside from the tone and texture your techniques accomplished, is the amazing stereo separation I got by using them. (most apparrent in the test titled SM81eqa) There is no auto-panning going on, no effects (other than some very slight eq) no elaborate processing, just outstanding microphone techniques suggested by both of you. That stereo separation adds a spacial quality to my recordings that has been lacking in the past.

Thank you so much, this takes me to a new level!

Harvey and I have this great symbiotic system all worked out. People ask questions and I give them some vague crap that occasionally has a slight resemblence to useful reality. Then Harvey comes in and corrects all my fallacies, nails down the specifics, and otherwise gives the real poop. What teamwork! We're like a well-oiled machine! :D

Hell littledog, you caught a lot of stuff in that first posting that I missed completely. Even though we approached the problem from different directions, we both tried to come up with possible things that might cause the problem he was having.

After a bunch of wrong answers on my part, I just decided to look up the wavelength of an A2 and A3 note to see if there might be a number that would be a typical length for something he had control over and it turned out that the 1/2 wavelength numbers correspondined to his mic positioning points. After that was determined, the solution was pretty easy.
