The Logic Off Topic list

Hi,

I´m sorry to say, but MD-Recording for Jazz is far away from
professional recording. (Compression, you know...)

My advice would be to invest in good DAT-Recorder.
There is a good one from Tascam, the DAP 1.
Its a portable one, has 2 XLR-Inputs(mic or Line) with Phantom
Power, Digital I/O for dumping to CD or into a
Computer system. 
I know, its a bit expensive, but its worth the money!

My microphone advice for doing stereo Recording, with
a small budget is.

1. Buy a Neumann KM 120 with figure of 8
   or a AKG C414 (thats more flexible, because you can use
   it somewhere else, because it has more patterns, too.)

2. Buy a Neumann Stereo-Pair, KM 184 Cardioid.
   You can use it A-B, XY, ORTF, ......a.s.on
   (BTW-its excellent sounding)

3. By a second Rhode NT1 and do XY, AB-how you wish


4. Beyerdynamic has a stereo mic too. Called MCE 82, i think.
   But i don´t know how it sounds. Its cheap! It is battary powered.

i hope thats something for you,

greetings from vienna,

René Kornfeld

Subject: [L-OT] OT: Stereo microphone


Hi There,

I need to buy a good stereo microphone. I'm recording some live jazz
quartets and trios. I currently have a cheap audio technica which actually
does a good job but is battery powered and has bad noise floor etc...

I need a mic that can be phantom powered preferably and which can pick up
everything from double bass to sizzle cymbals.

Anybody have any good suggestions?

I was also considering going with an M-S matrix, but I am recording straight
to MD (I know, but its far from a paying job..) and one of the Spirit
potable mixers (ie. only four input channels and two stereos with phono
inputs...) . If I do decide to go with the M-S what would be a good figure
eight microphone?

I already have a RODE NT1 which works great for a 'center' microphone.

ANybody have any experience recording live with a minimal mic setup (I
should add its a small room and mic placement cannot be in the audience,
they get rowdy... :) )

cheers
