Re: Mid-Side Microphone for Live Recordings
Hey Brad if you're dealing with mixers with post fade direct outs and need more level, take a couple of XLR y-splits and use seperate channels to get into your recorder.
Unassign them from the stereo bus, and set your own levels, without being affected by the house guy's EQ or gain changes.
Alternatively if the mixer has subgroups assign the side channels to subgroups and attenuate for the house mix further downstream.
Never used Mid-Side on stage but would be interested to hear results. Like Almeria I would think using only the mid info would perhaps be too narrow, while all of the side info at full pelt may prove troublesome. Sounds like the house engineer at the venue found a good point of balance.
Hereby & forthwith, any instrument with an odd number of strings shall be considered broken. With regard to mix levels, usually the best approach is treating the mandolin the same as a cowbell.
