From my understanding, the MK21's have most of the Omni characteristics...with the exception of having a little more rear rejection. They have little proximity effect and even have a slight rise in the highs like so many Omni's have. I would be micing much closer than you. I like to emulate what I hear at close distances. I actually place my head lower and tilt my guitar slightly upward when playing. The 4's and the 41's actually have much better off axis response than the 21's. However...Close miced in with the wider pattern, the difference should not be noticeable for off axis. For my style of playing, micing further back does not seem to give me the results I am looking for. It has to do with many things such as the larger dynamics in which I play..and of course..my poorer room acoustics. Even in good recording rooms I am still not fond of micing further back for my style. However with others It is definitely one of the very best methods. I will also be building some Gobo's of sorts.In theory and in many cases, micing further back offers a more even dynamics, smoothing out those ranges much like a compressor would. Of course as with anything...either way you go, what ever you get for one way...you loose in another way. |

Your guitar sounded very good with both the Schoeps and the N22's. I think we are our own worst critics. But certainly there was a more natural open sound to the stereo imaging of the N22's. Soundpure has some videos where they record Acoustic using the MP2a..and it just gives it that extra bit of meat to the recording. I hope to add a good preamp to my mix later next year. (as soon as a bunch of money falls from the sky! Or I finally am able to let go of my prised electrics that I no longer play. ) |
