I've been enjoying this discussion as well and, for the most part,
everybody has behaved themselves pretty well. I do find it interesting
that something that I thought was SO well understood still can
generate such divergent opinions. Part of this thread has left me
scratching my head a bit, though. My own VERY limited knowledge of MS
technique has been that, for true mono compatibility, simply fade out
the S channel leaving only the M mic signal. BTW, I have a Sann
MKH60/30 combo inside a Rycote pumpkin. That's about as mono as I
could make it, no? This presupposes that I'm recording two discreet
channels and NOT encoding them to stereo in the field. Forgive my
ignorance, but I thought that this was the safest method of using M/S
to insure future compatibility. Maybe I missed a key part of this
thread earlier? Please feel free to set me straight on any of my
previous assumptions.....I'm here to learn.
