M/S with one mic?
Forums
I've got one input left on my Firepod to record drums. Found a good sounding room and would like to have a stereo room track.
I have a ribbon that picks up Figure-8 nicely. I've used this ribbon for M/S with an SM57 as mid, and it works nicely after EQ tweaking.
I know I can "try things out" when I get there, but I'd like to be better prepared mentally.

Creating Impulse Responses using MS Micing technique.
Forums
So, I sometimes use the SIR1 plugin for reverb (its free!). It takes impulse responses of different locations around the world to simulate reverb. You can even make your own, which I did. I took a pair of SDC's and recorded them in XY inside a giant staircase in my school. It sounds pretty cool.

M/S Mastering.
Forums
Hi, my name is Jorge Carvalho, i'm a student at School of Arts from Catholic University of Porto.
I'm doing my master's degree in Sound Design. My dissertation is about the M/S Mastering Technique, and if you are a master engineer, i like to make if possible a few questions regarding this method.
Is very simple, click on the link to go to a little survey on google docs.

I want an M-S mate for my Beyer M160
Forums
I'll keep this brief...
I lost a Beyer M130 and 1 of 2 M160's I have owned for several years. It happened in a bizarre way that makes me sick to even think about.

MS Recording balance issue
Forums
Hi,
when recording acoustic guitars (or other instuments!) using MS technique Im getting mixed results in respect of the balancing of the S channels.
We use good mics, AKG 414 / U87i etc and are dong it through decent analog desk (Soundcraft ghost), but get strange things when balancing for mix.

MS Recording Questions
Forums
I have a question about M/S mic technique. I really like it, but why does the left channel get louder when I raise the volume of the "M" mic panned center against the "S" mic channels? The Left and right channel was created in my DAW by cloning a track from the S mic, then flipping the right channel out of phase and hard panning both channels hard L and R.

Undo a M/S matrix recording
Forums
Recently I bought a new device, the H4n and I turned on the M/S Matrix feature. I did not know it applied to the XLR inputs so I M/S Matrixed a source that was already perfect stereo. I know there is a way through inversion and all sorts of other stuff to create an M/S mix after the fact. Is there any wya to undo an M/S mix to get the original stuff back?

Here is a press release that I just published. I find it especially interesting and timely because I am really jacked up over OTB summing. Now this has just been released.
SPL introduces a new powerful analog tool that can manage M/S signal separation and integrate external processors seamlessly
Maybe some of you might want to chat about this here.
