Hi Max--
[An aside: M-S stereo image monitoring in the
field isn't a high priority for me. Because its a
fixed jig, I usually position my M-S rig in a
setting with my ears/hand claps and referring to
vegetation, land-forms, relief etc. I do refer to
headphone monitoring with my adjustable ORTF rig.
My monitoring needs are quite different from
recording a specific species with a shotgun mic!

My question is, when you save your field
recordings in your library, do you use a system
to identify the stereo files that you recorded
with an M-S array?

Have you tested this by chance? I've been
thinking it might be prudent to confirm that an
identical pair could be re-created if needed. Rob
