So I'm wondering if there is a preferred method for close Micing in stereo, or if this is commonly done, or if it's a major faux pas.

It seems to me in my reading here and elsewhere that the XY, ORTF, and Bloomingdales configs are usually used for room mics where they are a ways back from the sound source.

what do you guys think about using a home stereo for monitors?
I'm broke as hell so I can't afford monitors, what should I do?
any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

Mark,

OK, obviously there are some sounds that are stereo and some that are mono. How do you determin what is what. Please leave out the "listen to it" answer. Im looking for something concrete.

Ok let me lay out my set up for you all.

Hi, I'm just starting out and want to exclusively record solo violin. I wondering if it's better to record it in stereo or mono? Considering that I'm just starting out, would it wiser to spend my dollars on a better quality mono setup or a lesser quality stereo setup. Thanks.

Sorry about the confusion of z-stereo in previous topic
I would like to know if any one ever used the K-stereo from Digi domain
and it is worth the price £5000
Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I was just looking for some suggestions on stereo mics... I'm looking for mid level to expensive (ie. RODE to DPA). Has anyone tried any good ones?

Thanks!

hi guys, i'm building a high end DAW and am looking for some varied pres to cover me for a wide range of sounds. so far i'm considering the Avalon ad2022, the chandler tg2, a couple of v72s and possibly something by neve. i'm curious about my other options though...what would you guys recomend?

thanks!

Please forgive my ignorance, but can someone tell me the difference between recording something in stereo as opposed to recording mono and then doubling it and using two channels? I mean, if you are using the same mikes, do you place them differently to capture a different part of the sound? Whats the deal?
