I'm new to all of this and have been reading up on M/S recording, as I 've got an LSD2 and it seems this mic is well suited for this type of recording. But I've got a question or 2:
1) Instead of setting one capsule to card to be the 'M', could I plug the SBD into that channel since it will be feeding me a mono signal?
My thinking is that since a good bit of mixing is done in post, the SBD would give me a very clean 'M' track to mix the fig 8 stuff into.
2) Or will screw up something will the power to the mic, since it's that funky split cable?
I'm a computer guy by trade and keep thinking back to SCSI termination problems.
