What is a somewhat more reproducible setup for sound is coincident mic'ing. I prefer using spaced pairs though.

Aloha Rick!
Aloha Rick,
Mahalo for sharing your wonderful original songs with us & for those crystal clear acoustic recordings - no matter the gear. Very inspiring! I love the pacing & phrasing of all three songs. It's easy to hear that you love the music & guitar because you seem to tarry on some phrases. I liked that! RE: Spaced pairs. I have not had as much success with that miking pattern as with others. I'm hoping that I'll get better at it now that my space is much better treated. It's the center balance, imaging & clarity that is the issue for me w/ spaced pairs. I've had much better luck w/ using my 641's in X-Y about 16" off the 18th fret (12-fret guitars). Sometimes I add a spaced pair of U87's out a few more feet, spaced widely for more room. I've also had some luck with the R84/641 or CK8 ribbon combo's in M-S. So I am reading here very closely in hopes of picking up some tips on miking in spaced pairs. BTW, for any mic freak that's inspired by the Microtech-Gefell M295 mics? This Nashville supplier has 'em on special for $1499: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sourc...em2pqq-jBIjHdw Again Rick, thank you very much for your music. A Hui Hou! alohachris |

I usually use literally a "spaced pair" these days, mics at the same vertical level, somewhere between 15-20 inches apart, facing dead on or slightly turned in. Centered around the sound hole, more or less. Move side to side in front of that mic lineup until the sound is balanced. I've used with this with the MK41s, the Brauners, and a few others, and it almost always "just works", giving me a nice wide sound with no hole in the middle, in phase, etc. And easy to set up.

I have gotten lucky with some "odd" configurations, once or twice with a trio of Sony C37A's and a few others using a Sennheiser MKH 406 in between an out of polarity pair of Sennheiser MKH 405's.

Steve, are these recording samples still available? I'm getting a *sign into iCloud* when I click on the link.

Those links are broken. I still have the recordings. Let me see if I can repost them for you.

Wow, old thread :-) You're asking if I setup mics using headphones? I have, but usually I find that doesn't necessarily translate. I usually just go back and forth - try something, check it out over the monitors, move an inch try again, over and over and over. These days, I pretty much know where I'll place the mics, so it goes fast. I also use various meters to watch stereo balance while setting up mics, or even sitting back down at the mics each time, so that lets me fine tune the placement.

yes, but I usually add an AEA R88 ribbon in MS in the middle. I just have this setup semi-permanently, so I can just sit down, hit record and go.
