waves create a lot of background hiss.

pace when you do. But I'm getting off topic.

action. (I love pebble beaches, Ross, and that was beautiful to listen to.=
) Last year or so I recorded using a similar setup (SASS with single capsul=

mono. (Good point about just dropping one of the channels, Vicki!)

>> In terms of portability, an SASS is going to be bigger than a single X-Y=
or M-S microphone. It comes down to a question of which stereo mic setup g=
ives you the soundscape you're after, and what compromises you're willing t=
