I知 about to purchase two CMC5 scheops kit mics. I thought about getting them both cardioid but, after watching your video. I知 thinking of getting 1 cardioid, and the other Omni. It値l be mostly used for acoustic guitar recording. I知 still not sure though. |

For MS, you need a figure 8, not omni. The mid mic can be either cardiod or omni, tho it's usually cardiod. The side has to be a figure 8, which would be the MK8 capsule for schoeps. The nice thing is that you can easily add more capsules once you have the mic bodies. (Well, it's "easy", but the capsule's aren't cheap...) I have a pair of MK41s (hyper-cardiod), MK2s (omni), and MK8s (figure 8). With 2 MK8s, you can also do Blumlein. It's actually kind of cool to do MS with 2 figure 8's as you can set them up for XY/Blumlein, and then just rotate them 45 degrees and you have MS.

I bet these items used as a group would make a really nice M/S (along with other configs) set for reasonable money

Thanks Doug! Your video got me into mid-side recording. It's a great technique!
Here's a tip for you. Get your hands on the new AEA KU5A ribbon microphone and try it as your mid mic. Use one of your N22s as your side mic. Pure ribbon stereo wonderfulness |

I've used the R88 and also the Royer SF24 in MS, as well as the N22s, but a hypercardiod ribbon should be an interesting option.

Me too. Since this post m/s has been my main thing (using an AKG 414 for the sides and a 451 for the mid) for home recording of youtube and facebook videos. Years ago I tracked a tune for an album for someone with m/s and wasn't into the results, but I now think there were other reasons for that. I find m/s very easy and forgiving for getting good and consistent solo guitar recordings.

By the way, Doug I recently had a conversation with Wes Dooley and I recommended your mid-side video tutorial as a starting point for mid-side newbies like me. I used your mic placement exactly and it just worked So far I haven't found any hands-on reviews of the KU5A. I bought it on faith and I'm not disappointed. It's a brilliant choice for recording acoustic music in a small home studio. You get AEA ribbon microphone sound with the advantages of unidirectional pick up pattern. |

Question for you Doug;
In the tutorial you say that when using the Voxengo decoder plugin and setting the gain at the preamp, that you want to match them with the figure of eight microphone temporarily turned to face forward. And then after matched to the side microphone you rotate it back to be being perpendicular. That whole setup has worked great for me. But I am now playing around with using a manually setup mid/side matrix in Logic so I can playing around with dual mono reverbs on just the side microphone tracks, among other fun experiments.. And I'm wondering if there's a reason to use the same gain setup process, or is that unique to using a decoder plugin? |
