Seriously flawed ? Interesting. I think it is a pretty accurate recording of how a person sounds sitting in room with a mask on.. ...

A couple of things related to the acoustic guitar demo ...
Some years ago I was part of a Hawaiian band, uke & vocals, lead uke, and my slack key. I did a bit of ensemble recording in my fairly small but heavily treated room and I used the figure 8 isolation trick both for vocal/uke separation and for separating each player from the next. It actually worked amazingly well although it was probably more luck than skill. And it was tough getting everyone to maintain their positions after painstakingly arranging the players and mics. And on the topic of lavaliers, I remembered that I have a pair of Countryman EM-101s that are very similar to the GLM-100s used in the video. They are side address miniature omni condensers with XLR connections. I never got much use out of these mics back in the day but that's probably because I was constantly buying additional mics in search of the magical transducer. With the inspiration from Mr. Albini it seemed like a great opportunity to dig out the EM-101s and try the bridge location on my Wingert. for comparison I used a pair of DPA 4061s in a 15" AB spaced pair about 12" from the guitar. Both mic pairs were plugged into my Zoom F6, then I used REAPER to adjust average levels so they matched pretty well. I pulled the guitar tracks out and saved them as 48/24 WAV files that you can download for a closer comparison: http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/media...ryman-trim.wav http://www.homebrewedmusic.com/media...2-DPA-trim.wav Fran

Both sound pretty good, Fran! The CountryMan's might be a bit more direct-sounding? Perhaps a tad wider stereo image (tho it seems close to me). If handling noise isn't an issue, this seems like it'd be a useful tool in some situations

I watched that video the other day, and while I can't really stomach the idea of surface mics, I don't think I've ever heard that much isolation in a two figure 8 mic set up. Albini is the engineers engineer!
