My favorite stereo technique depends entirely on what I'm recording, and to some extent which microphones I have available. Of the techniques that you mentioned, the Blumlein is my favorite for recording an orchestra in a good hall, and no, I don't put it in the middle of the orchestra! I also like M-S if I am micing a choir, as the on-axis response of the Mid mic is helpful. BTW, the Mid mic in an M-S setup can be any standard pattern mic, cardioid, omni, or even Figure-8! For the most part though, if I only have cardioid mics available, I'll go with either ORTF or NOS. Mono compatibility is important to me since I was recording for a classical FM radio station.
Thank you for clearing up so much! I learned 3 to 1 in college. I have had it wrong for 14 years! I guess this is what lead to me not liking spaced-pair methods in some applications.
Awesome, I knew recording was important but not this much. I'm mostly interested in "anti-bleed" techniques. So, how can I record two sources that come inevitably from the same place, with minimal error? This has statistical properties that could be interesting to observe, and could even be used for greater problems, such as the cocktail effect. Great teaching man, thank you!
Which one is your favorite stereo miking technique?
Let me know in the comments and thanks for watching!
Thank you Noah, well explained the complicated tmatter of Mic Stereotechnique
This vid really helped me a lot!!! Prepared for a stereo techniques recording session at school :)
The most thorough, direct to the point explanations i ever found on the subject. Thank you.
Thank you for your excellent explaining. Much apprecieated. You even mentioned NOS mike technique.

Excellent Video
Two microphones spaced apart ...trying that with my irish bouzouki....Noah thank you
Nice!
Thanks for the explanation!
Excellent explanation of the main stereo microphone set ups.
Although, I am not sure what he is eating
Thank you!
Great video! Thanks

Great teaching man, thank you!
Do you have a specific example with two different sources coming from the exact same place?
which stereo mic technique do you prefer for recording a single acoustic instrument like classical guitar or lute?
Great video:)
Whats the stereo bar you use? Looks great with the 2 movable "arms".
Thanks! I don’t remember where I got that stereo bar but to be honest I prefer the standard K&M if you can find it.
