I might mention that mid-side used with a cardioid mid is mathematically the same as a cardioid X-Y pair. Different mid mics result in different mathematical models.
And that the original mid-side was an array of two figure 8 ribbon mics, invented by Alan Blumlein who also invented two channel stereo.
And that any stereo recording can be converted to mid-side and back again in a DAW.
