Hoy-Hoy,
There has been some discussion in the past about "what" pattern to use when taping off center in relation to the band/PA stacks. It seems that most agree that XY produces the best results, while others seem to like DINN or similar and compensate by running one channel hotter than the other to obtain a balanced mix.
In my observations I also like XY only for off center taping, even though I like the sound of DINN and ORTF the best. To me it, XY, sounds more balanced when off center. My question to the community is where do you point the center axis of your mics when off center? Do you point it straight ahead, directly in front at the PA stack, or do you point the center axis half way between the two PA stacks (like more towards the center of the band/stage)? I tried pointing in the center of the stage just at a slight angle last time when I was off center and the results were very good.
Any feedback?? :2confused:

Thanks!
