Your S1 tweaking went a bit far, I think.
A difference of opinion on mastering is another reason I really don't like post. Anyone ever see this site before?

this would work?
Here's source info on the recording: SP LSD2 (cards, XY@135º) > T+mod UA-5 > iRiver H120 > iMac G5 > Audacity (tracking)
I remember
DSatz commenting that cards XY90º weren't ideal. Of course he also mentioned "angular distortion" at angles >90º and basically said stereo mics weren't good for much besides M/S and Blumlein. I'm not sure the angle is responsible for these sonic anomalies since my XY90º and Blumlein recordings at that stage all have this problem. Anyone else run cards XY > 90º and have good results?
I know the LSD2 is supposed to be cake to run, but could aiming the mic slightly to the left or right by accident account for this? Would adding gain to level out each channel not compensate?
Btw, if you liked the music,
The Myriad just won an MTV2 competition.
