Topic: does this sound F***'d up?

[62v8]

the cable I made to peluso spec (my first suspect), ...5pin with pins 1+,2-(upper/right) 3g 4+,5-(lower/left).
everything is pined out correct...I just triple checked it.  Apparently this is some standard ??

For what it's worth ...

My Rode NT4's 5 pin cabling is

Pin 1 Left -
Pin 2 Left +
Pin 3 Ground
Pin 4 Right +
Pin 5 Right -

Cheers

Looks like there's not really a true standard here.  Schoeps makes pins 1~3 identical as the XLR-3, and adds pins 4 and 5 as + and - respectively for the second channel.  ie:
1: ground
2: + phase channel 1 (left)
3: - phase channel 1 (left)
4: + phase channel 2 (right)
5: - phase channel 2 (right)

I've confirmed its not the cable.  I guess thats just the way it came out.
weird.

[boyacrobat]

Is that Fareed on guitar?

Was this recorded on stage?  Keep in mind that M-S with an omni for the mid basically results in coincident cardiods with an included angle of 180 degrees... pointed directly away from one another.  In most cases, that would qualify as 'weird' to begin with, but I suppose it could work on stage if the massive stereo separation is desirable.  Personally I only run M-S with a directional mid.

well then...
that would make sense.
I was thinking the omni mid would make something "different".
and I had it panned a little wide to begin with.

the recording is enjoyable, it just didn't sound as I expected. 
thanks all

[Nick's Picks]

yea, that's Fareed.
amazing shit

[Nick's Picks]

so the pinout is according to the "shure brothers standard"...
but i'll be damn'd if I could google up anything about that.
