Topic: Studio Projects LSD2 fluffing

[Nick's Picks]

I have come to beieve that coincident stereo techniques are the only way to fly w/large D's.
but thats me.  so things like the LSD excell. 

for example, if you've got yourself a good stereo and dont mind wasting a CD, download and burn this.

Be sure to start it up w/the volume around "concert level"..., 100db or so should do it.

thats XY, off center by 10-15' but it captured the room perfectly.

I just installed a new DAC in my stereo and i'm getting into this recording way deeper than w/the stock output from my Toshiba....so i'm horny on it.  But damn',d , thats 3 dimensional!.  Or the acoustics in my living room are.

nice
it sounds fantastic w/the V3 as well, so you'll be loving life.
I'll be seeing those 414s in the yard sale.

Congratulations. I have been using mine more than I had thought I would. Most certainly the best money I have spent in awhile.

Maybe after a couple of months I will sell both the LSD2 and 414s and try and buy some Neumann LDs...

That was kinda a joke...

Not really though.   I'll try and keep you in mind.

I listened to this on my studio monitors (at nothing near 100dB). The main vocals seemed a down in the mix. Is that how it was at the show? (wouldn't know myself, never seen phil).

The recording sounds great with that one exception (keyboards are too up front for my tastes, but again, that's all in the mix).

I went through archive and pulled out a few samples of folks using this mic and the results were mixed. In all of them however, I felt the bottom end was a bit too pronounced (but I know how much folks on this board love that colored bottom end -- ala AKG). But then I love a nice clean no color added recording (which has it's own set of problems at times).

pronounced?

the low end on the lsd2 rolls off on the bottom, i always thought if anything, it was bass shy.

[Bdifr78]

I should be putting it to the first test friday night for Greyboy.

Should be some bass there  . Let us know (or hear) how it goes.

Its interesting you say this,  I took the sample provided and picked a spot where you can hear phil the most.  I ran a spectrum analysis of the clip and found the lowest freq. was 45hz but it was down by -27db!!!!!!........ 
Now I am not knocking this mic...I am thinking about getting one myself, but it sounds like this mic is more intended for up close stage lip or onstage taping....   overall  the sound is clear and clean, but definately bass shy..... just my worthless two cents...

Have you done the same analysis with other mics in similar environments?  How does the lsd2 compare?

This could just as easily be due to the PA and not the mic.  Without another recording as a control/reference, we have no idea of knowing.
