RE: Two microphone stereo recordings

The sound out the back of the figure 8's can be a benefit, as it provides hall ambiance. If this proves excessive, the microphones can usually be moved closer.

The big downside of minimal microphones is that the musicians are responsible for the balance and it won't be easy to fix their mistakes. It will be impossible to "Autotune" bad vocalists, but that's a good feature, IMO :-)

Comb filtering is a big problem when spatially separated microphones are mixed into a single channel. It is less of a problem when each microphone has its own speaker, as the ear hears these two cases differently at high frequencies.

My late wife loved your "Train Start" recording. I will listen to the newer ones when I get the chance. But it will be on speakers, as I don't have any decent headphones, just a handset that I use for Skype.
