Cards are equally as great in said situations and reject more of the negatives that show up with omnis'
IE Crowd, or shitty room sound.
My point being you would use cards in a number of more situations than you would omnis. Shitty sounding rooms
rowdy crowds
What he said.
I'd only use omnis as a second gear (run by a second taper from a different spot in the venue) to do a matrix in post and add some more of the bass the cards lack of.
I attended a very shitty sounding concert yesterday (from my spot at least - balcony !!!). Couldn't hear the singer most of the time, guitars were too loud in the mix and the bass reverb was predominent.
Thank God, I used cardiods so that my recording doesn't sound natural
As for your Rammstein samples, Soundprofessionals are selling the same capsules in both
low and
high sensivity mod.
Check yours. You have to use
low sensivity mics to record loud hard rock shows.
