<<Don't worry about stereo techniques with directional microphones -- get a good set of onmi-directional mics & record mono, or spaced-omni or Jecklin disk. And get as close as you can! >> I'll disagree about not investigating directional mics. Human hearing is directional. We face what we want to concentrate on & a directional array can duplicate this sense of giving priority to sounds coming from a given direction. And bear in mind that omni mics are still somewhat directional, especially at higher frequencies, so which way they're pointed DOES matter. Omni & directional mics are just tools in the kit. They both serve valuable purposes & neither obviates the other. Scott Fraser |
