Re: 4 channels field recording

[<>]

One thing to remember when making surround recordings to a computer is to
always use ASIO drivers.  If you don't, there is almost a certainty of
having a time misalignment between channel pairs.  This can amount to
hundreds of samples.  This is a catastrophe if you are using coincident
miking techniques.  However, if you do what Dan suggests below, you'll be O=
K
as long as you make sure to put the front coincident microphones on the
sample channel pair together.

I've been badly burned by this problem.  I made recordings using a
Soundfield microphone, and now I have hours of recordings with incorrect
synchronization between the WX (omni and front figure of eight) and YZ (sid=
e
figure of eight and Up figure of eight) channel pairs.  I'm reduced to
trying various time offsets between the two channel pairs to see which
sounds best.
