Hi !
" Many different ways to record music. I know one person who uses spaced cardiods 9' apart. His speakers are spaced 9' apart so they match exactly the same as the position of the microphones. Stereo width is excellent going way beyond the speakers with orchestral and concert band recordings "
Thank you very much indeed. This is exactly what i am feeling.
In some way mics and speakers should "mirror" each other.
I really do not understand why instead all the major audiophile labels use omnidirectional mics.
As said in the Shure brochure
" Cardioid microphones are most sensitive to sound at the front and least sensitive at the back. Their unidirectional pickup makes for affective isolation of unwanted ambient sound and high resistance to feedback when compared to omnidirectional alternatives.
Cardioid microphones are essential when considering a mic for live performance "
i should have added that my dream is to be able to make some live recordings of group of singers or unamplified instruments during village concerts. You know those amateurs groups. Some are also good.
Another way could be to use some lens on the back of the mic to stop the rear sounds.
However your words have confirmed my feelings.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
bg
