Damn this junk... I spent 20 minutes typing this in, and then it says I'm not logged in and totally loses everything I typed. Asshole servers.
Anyway... more questions... I get type em all over again.
Scenario: Stereo miking a speaker, 2 mics.
Questions:
Side by side, pointing at same place? Space between them?
Pointing at different areas?
Are identical mics important?
Recording this way is better because... ? (opinions here)
Panning questions:
On a stereo digital track, they automatically pan left and right. Should they be hard left, hard right, or somewhere in between?
It is said that panning a stereo track around will collapse the image, but not when using a rotation control (the Blumlein method, I believe) like the S1. Any comments on this, and why the rotation DOESN'T collapse it?
I read also somewhere that if you place a mic about 8-12 inches behind the other one, pointing at same spot, that there will be a natural delay between the 2, thickening things up some. Is there a known general distance (measurable) from a speaker to make sure things are in phase, and known "out of phase" distances.
And last, but not least... would it be beneficial at all, if you had the capacity, to say... stereo mic a snare or toms or other drums?
