Sorry to wait so long to respond. Family/holidays/work kind of piled up on me.
No, I haven't used the mk 319 on violin yet. I intend to.
There was a change of scheduling for the holidays. EVERYthing got turned sideways, with good & not-so-good results.
GOOD: Got to see more of my family. Always a plus, since my folks and her folks aren't getting any younger.
NOT-SO-GOOD: Cooked the head gasket on my wagon, and am scrambling to find time to get the wagon back on the road before NYE gig 4 hours from me on the NC coast.
I might not get back to this until the first week of January.
Side Note: Earlier,I asked you guys about mid-side recording. Might have a line on a really inexpensive Samson C03 (multi-pattern LDC with figure-of-eight pattern).
Just wanted to keep you guys posted. I appreciate the information you shared, and look forward to sharing my results for your review.
