In Reply to: Omni mics are superior... posted by BigguyinATL on May 2, 2016 at 06:59:08:
Hi and thanks a lot for the very helpful advice.
Sorry for my late reply but i cannot find the subscription to the thread.
I have to say that i am obsessed by the soundstage.
I like when i feel the 3D effect very developed, even if it is created artificially.
I already know that the listening room plays a very fundamental role.
But also speakers and omni ... i do not know if they are the best type to get a materic and very well defined positioning of the players/instruments in the space.
Actually in the pictures of recording studios i have never seen omni used as monitor. They are usually conventional speakers.
There must be a reason.
So the next curiosity is about the best technique to capture a great soundstage.
It is true instead that almost anyone use omni microphones.
I would experiment with some shields to block the back sounds from reaching the mic like the one in the picture.
Nevertheless i would like to listen to some recordings with different mics to check which are the better for soundstage.
Thanks a lot indeed for the interesting information.
Kind regards,
bg
