appreciate the suggestions dunder. for m-s I need an omni and figure 8? unfortunately I only have one mic that can do omni at the moment, but I do have an omni and a figure 8.

Sure you can use the picture William.

I fooled around with various set-ups (using my favorite mic types) And I accidentally stubled on the fact I could get a decent stereo decode with any directional microphone for the mid and either a figure 8 (keynote-drum roll) or an omni for the side. (the accident was I was in a hurry and screwed in the wrong capsole before I shoved it into the windscreen). Doing sound-for-picture, the omni worked better then the figure-8.
The key to this is that you use a directional mic for the mid-pickup. As I was experimenting with recording stereo dialog, my mid microphone was a hypercardiod patterned head.
I adapted the technique further using a long shotgun with an omni lav as my 'general-purpose' sound gathering mic... worked a charm and I used that setup for several years.

oh yeah...http://www.olsenaudio.com/adapters.html

has this cool little item

for setting up multiple mics on one stand (up to 7!) making it easier to setup any of the closer-patterned pairs.

ooh excellent link! If you got anymore of those I'd love to be in the know. Thanks for sharing that bit of microphone serendipidty, I'll have to do some experimenting myself while I still got time.

At the start and during the song.

Now I want more samples.

Can you tell us what mic/preamp were used for this?

Thanks for sharing!

Genetic_Junk · Post by **Genetic_Junk** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 5:57 pm

Thanks for sharing that William.

The preamps are the two that are built in to the EMU 1616m soundcard and the mics were equitecks, an e300 and e100.

Maybe you could do a full CD of ambient sounds, I would buy it.

yeah, me too. Thanks for sharing those. I'm wondering how people reacted to your recording station point

Genetic_Junk · Post by **Genetic_Junk** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 11:36 pm

An ambient sample CD would be a fun project. Unfortunately my equitek E300 has become a bit noisy and I will need to send it to get it fixed/replaced. That is the best mic I have for ambient recordings. I would want that mic to be tip-top condition if I were doing samples for profit.

People stare when I record in the field. It's not big deal though, just part of the atmosphere.

Thanks again for the interest.

Maybe you could get one of those portable recorders? That fits on the pocket and uses flash-cards? M-Audio has a nice cheap one.
