Hello Tapers!
« on: November 21, 2011, 02:13:57 AM »
Hello Tapers

Allow me to apologize if I posted this in the wrong section. I did look for a "general" category but failed.

Hello from Lydenburg, South Africa! I have been dabbling with recording, especially binaural recording techniques for quite some time.

Looking forward to engaging in discussion on this forum.

Here you can listen to a small sample of a recording I have done a while ago in my local church: http://soundcloud.com/machineghost/die-koekoek-en-die-nagtegaal-h and here: http://soundcloud.com/machineghost/missa-brevis-sancti-benedictus

I'm only listening at work on cheap computer speakers, but the recording sounds beautiful on those.  I'm also curious what mics you're using (and what kind of j-disc for that matter).

Thanx for the welcome guys!

Those binaural recordings of mine is nothing special actually. I used a pair of dirt-cheap (slightly modded) Beringer C-2 cardioid pencil mics on a 12" Jecklin disc. Using a cardioid on a Jecklin I have found that I get a more focussed binaural image like one would listening live. Interface is a Steinberg MI4 into Cubase.



I have my eyes on some Pearl condenser microphones...

Only problem with the above posted recording is that the conductor was a bit "loud"

Nice. A buddy uses a J-disk with great results. I've been using an omni bar with a 3ft (~91 cm) spacing to get a stereo image. To my ears the disk often sounds better, but it can block sightlines at concerts.

I was in Stellenbosch last year. Are you close?

Whoza! Stellenbosch is over 1500 kilometers away from where I live. I live in the upper part of South Africa...

Those recordings really sound good. It's hard to record in a church-often you pick up too much room noise-people breathing, squeaking seats, etc.

Didn't know a Jecklin was any benefit with cards, but it seems to work.

I think the C-2's are underrated, especially for the money. Nothing but rave reviews on the net except for here on taperssection. Musicians seem to love them. I got a pair because they were so cheap (under $60 with a stereo bar & clips) so small and many positive reviews. Used them once so far and the recording came out quite well.

Agree - but they do have a small bit of a peak that is not kind to all types of recordings.

Yes - who said you cannot use cardioids with a Jecklin?  >:D
