In Reply to: Kal wouldn't that be only for Concerto recordings? (nt) posted by Teresa on December 1, 2005 at 20:33:24:
No. On the concerto recordings, the center channel was almost exclusively reserved for the soloist. (Heifetz wouldn't have it any other way.) What I am speaking of is more subtle use of additional mikes mixed in to the main 3 channels at the recording console under the guidance of the recording engineers. No way to separate those out.
Follow Ups:
Been collecting them for about 25 years and this is the first I heard of accent microphones. About 15 years ago I did read an article in the Absolute Sound that said that unlike Mercury Living Presense, RCA Living Stereo used spot microphones for soloists. Thus the Mercury's are true 3 mic recordings even with concerto recordings.This is the first I ever heard of RCA Living Stereo using extra microphones on non-concerto recordings.
I guess we learn something new everyday.
