Question:
Is there ways to Mid-Side Stereo Micing without a Bi-directional or Figure of 8 microphone
Alternate techniques, to accomplish full/warm sound.

I've been interested in recording using the Stereo Mid-sides technique... However, no one I know owns a Bi-directional microphone, and nor do I. I tried it with 3 mics (all caridiod, one facing forward, the other 2 in a figure 8 pattern 180 degrees - as a bi-directional mic would pick up). It works well. But it creates a clutter of cords and stands.
