Thanks for the explanation Brian, you RAWK +T
And thanks to FOCKER(I think or maybe JTL) whom posted the wikipedia links. I read up the short written piece of the SF on wikipedia and it is AMAZING to say the last. It has (4) Subcardioid capsules, and in post, you can make them an omni/subcard/card/hyper/fig8 on ANY of the capsules
Thats just MINDBLOWING IMO
So, after reading Brians example, and the wikipedia link, I am STARTING TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT
Like most ALL THINGS IMO, it can never be FULLY CONCEIVED by me unless I were to actually use it and do the post work
and I dont see THAT happening anytime soon
Its just SIMPLY AMAZING what you can do in post with it. I also think its TRULY MIND BLOWING that you can just PLOP that sucka onto a stand on a side-address and just hit record, and then go back and alter it to your liking/standards and BAM, DONE!
The ONLY DOWNSIDE I can see to that AMAZING MIC is that the thing is SOOOO COMPLEX, and I have OCD< and I would NEVER get done w/ a recording, let alone in time to record my next show :p
I would be on a recording FOREVER to get it JUST RIGHT ya know?
Also, how does one TRULY make a PERFECT SOUNDING SURROUND MIX
On headphones? Or a COMPLEX 5.1 or 7.1 TOP OF THE LINE HIGHEND speaker component system
How would the final mix be mixed
IM SORRY for ALL of the questions, but this thing REALLY INTRIGUES ME TO TEH FULLEST
I have only been recording for around 10+ years, and this concept just NEVER HIT ME until seeing this mic. Its just AMAZING how far recording technologies and capabilities have come THIS FAR in just the 10 or more years Ive been recording
I mean, hell, back in 1997 when I bought my trusty ole Sony D-8 Dat deck, it was either buy a DAT deck or a MD, and the DAT was the CLEAR WINNER, As far as mics went, it was a HQ PAIR of condenser mics in your TYPICAL mic configs and THAT WAS IT. But NOW, nowadays we have mics like the SF surround SD mic
How frickin CRAZY IS THAT
Its MINDBLOWING TO ME
and I know there are a few brands that make a head-like sphere thats also a surround mic. I think Hydrosphere or someone like that makes them. Theyre in teh Full Compass mag I get(I think thats what mag it is) and theyre TINY and come in 5.1 and 7.1 models I think
And they are TINY IMO!!!
Thanks alot for the info guys!!!
