Hi,

Sorry if this is spam..

I'd be grateful if anyone with experience using near coincident/spaced stereo microphone recording techniques, could take a minute out to anonymously answer this question of mine to help guide my research project. It should take less than a minute.

Thanks in advance

I believe that you would get an answer if you formulated your question
here in a few sentences.

Thanks Enroe.

I'd be grateful for any volunteers who'd like to tell me know which of the spaced stereo techniques in that survey page they find themselves using? This is only to arrive at a list of the most common stereo recording techniques.

Thanks in advance!

Which spaced stereo techniques are listed in the survey?

Yeah, you can make a poll here.
and if it really is for non commercial use i will answer it (not that i would add much weight to my answer)!

I definitely feel that the Blumlein technique - preferably using two ribbons, but also can work with two figure-of-8 condensers - is one of the best ways to get a super 360 degree sound, while also maintaining perfect phase relationship. The trick is to place your sound sources between the lobes - not exactly on axis with one of the poles, but 45 degrees off. That was a game changer for me when I learned.
