Love the mic Pron Gut...any chance to listen to the results? Hell I'd love to hear each individual track to see how it builds up (to 5.1 Surround?).

I'm all set to record Avishai Cohen Thursday night here in J-town (I e-mailed management on a whim, offering to record which they accepted and comped my entry). I'm likely going to use a Schoeps mk22 and mk8 in a mid/side array from dead center stage lip.

Cables: 2x nbob KCY, 1 pair nbob actives, GAKables 10' & 20' 6-channel snakes, Darktrain 2 & 4 channel KCY and mini xlr extensions:
Preamps:    Schoeps VMS 02iub, Naiant IPA, Sound Devices Mixpre6 I
Recorders: Sound Devices Mixpre6 I, Sony PCM m10

Hypno, I can probably get my raw tracks to you all to play around with.  Artist plans on stopping by tomorrow to hear it played back directly from the DR680 through my surround system.  I listened last night and needed to adjust channel balance slightly to reduce the level of the left channel and should probably bring up the bass EQ a couple dB to compensate for the roll-off in the response of the supercardioids in all channels except the Center, which would otherwise get to thick on the kick, but nothing major.  It's five direct channels, L/C/R/Ls/Rs no sixth .1 LFE channel. 

There was also a friend taping with his two channel rig (the taller stand visible to the right of my setup in the photos) and another shooting video. Ironically, one of the musicians is a music professor at a nearby university and asked the video guy not YouTube the smokin' encore version of So What, due to some technical mistake I missed but which he doesn't want his advanced graduate students to give him a hard time about. No wide distibution of that one at least.

I love omnis on stage, up to three or four of them across the front, when possible  :)

Here's an old photo for you.. four DPA 4060s gaffer taped to welding rods bent into gentle curve.  Designed to be gaffer taped vertically to the stage-lip, spaced at 3-4' intervals across the front of the stage, so that they extend up a few feet and back over the stage a few feet.  This photo shows them laid out on the shop floor after I taped them up, the afternoon before a MMW show (I think, maybe that was for Charlie Hunter).  They are nearly invisible from the audience during the performance.

Found a photo of three of those rod-mounted omnis setup for use, along with the ADK TLs in Blumlien, taken about a year and a half ago in the same room as the more recent photos I posted above.  The camera flash makes them obvious in the photo, but the band didn't even realize the stalk mounted omnis were there for months.. until eventually noticing I was taping something else up besides the big mics.  This photo was taken before I drilled and tapped the other two feet of the folding three-leg lightstand base to attach the TLs in the triangular configuration I'm currently using there.

Thanks, Gutbucket, this is very interesting, especially with the photos and the diagrams: maybe there is more than stereo!
At least that's what I understand from all your posts in this thread and others!

I love this thread and reading about more advanced tehniques of which I know I'm not capable of executing with any success, both becuase I neither have sufficient gear nor the technical expertise.  From my perspective a simple stero pair on stage or a stero pair flanked by a less directional pair like subs or omnis works wonders in my world.  Quite honestly, I usually prefer the simple stereo pair centered than I do the mixdowns of a split pair, but I think that's partly because I know I have hearing damage due to too many shows and partly because I don't have much confidence in my eq abilities (again largely this goes back to hearing damage and lack of technical knowledge to navigate the frequency spectrum).

Anyway, gutbucket you and I met at the mmw show pre-jamcruise last month (I was running the schoeps 4-mic active set with tony frisa from nyc) and I was very much impressed with your surround array.  Would love to listen to the end results one of these days before my hearing goes completely to the shitter.  On stage recording is certainly my preferred approach and I salute all that support on stage taping.  I'll be at Blue Note in NYC tonight recording Bill Evans Soulgrass w/ medeski, cininger, mbappe, etc on stage w/ sbd matrix for bill's mgmt. Co roundhouse (big ups to ted gak for hookin' that up!!) and though I doubt I can circulate if I can I will (also got the tuesday 2/26 show w/ kraz).

Cheers.
