    Nice! I've tried all those techniques besides the last. Time to hit the laboratory!

      M/S is a fun one. Great on stereo sources like percussion and piano.

    I thought I had tried every mic technique available including ortf, mid-side, blumlein, spaced omnis, xy, etc...not sure why I've never experimented with just plain off axis...and wow...that saturated off axis "vintage-ey" sounding capture surprised me! Especially what it did to the top end...very cool! One of the nicest acoustic guitar captures I've ever gotten was actually mid side...we chose it because the guitarist was super technical and playing all of these micro nuanced parts and we still wanted a really wide image with it just being a solo instrumental, and also without double tracking extra parts overtop...really purist...but yeah...he had to sit really REALLY still while still playing with emotion...not an easy trick to pull off 🙂

      if you're really careful with your placement and your guitarist is really solid - you can get a great capture. It's a very cool effect. Kudos on being able to pull it off!

    That stereo technique is very cool. It is different from Binaural though right? "I won't be afraid" to try that technique! but "darlin' darlin'" I have to mention because it is bugging me there seems to be a fingerprint on the camera lens it the top right hand quadrant. I noticed it when you held up the mic in the first part of the video 0:56 and then I couldn't un-see it. Great video once again. Thank you.

      LOL - it's not a fingerprint. It's me being a dumbass and leaving the ring light reflecting in the window. So I blurred it out in post.
      M/S is different than binaural. Binaural requires a literal dummy head with sdcs shoved in the ears. M/S is usually better for music because you get that solid center capture. But binaural can be cool because not only do you get very localizable left-right imaging, you also get localizable up-down imaging in headphones!

    Wow I love this video, lots of fun info! Thanks!
    Do you use other polar patterns much as well? It seems like a lot of studio folks nowadays are quite predominantly cardioid only. It makes me wonder what interesting sounds people might be leaving behind.

      I use other polar patterns mainly on stereo sources. On mono sources I use figure 8 as a natural result of using ribbon mics, and very rarely use omni - although I should experiment with it more.

      @@WeissAdvice There's definitely some cool stuff you can do with omnis by abusing the lack of proximity effect.
      I've been doing some nature field recording recently and omnis are just fantastic for that. It's a challenge to get the placement right, but the sense of width and air on them is just unbeatable. boundary (PZM) omnis (like the crown SASS and wildtronics SAAM) are also great because you get the immersive width of omnis with the directivity of something like ORTF.
