I haven't even gotten through the first song, but it sounds really lovely.
question can you explain some of the lingo that goes into source an lineage.
FOB does that mean (front of board)
and
ORTF whats that mean, i know its a style i think of mic placemnt because its always labled next to the mics. but what is some other lingo that goes on with taping so i can know what to write
Yeah FOB is front of board. Pretty general term that doesn't really describe placement. I'm not one to note how high my stand is, or how far from the stage. Lot's of people do though.
{1} What are some of the techniques for stereo microphone placement?
What is "MS," "XY," "AB," "concident pair," "ORTF," etc.?
Many different mic setups exist for location stereo recording. Refer to
_The New Stereo Soundbook_ by Alton Everest and Ron Streicher, Tab Books
1992, for more.
Coincident Pair - Two mics arranged (typically) one above the other, so
that sound waves reach both capsules at the same time. The following three
techniques are coincident pair techniques:
XY - Coincident cardioids at 90 degrees
MS - Mid/Side. Use a single mic, which may be anything from omni to
hypercardioid, facing forward (mid) and a figure-eight facing to the
left. Remember that the back lobe of a figure-eight is _out of phase
by 180 degrees_ from the front. When you add mid plus side, you get a
left-pointing pickup. When you subtract mid from side (mid plus
inverted side), you get a right-pointing pickup. If the mid mic is
cardioid, the resulting left and right signals are cardioid at 90
degrees. Theoretically the result is the same as XY.
Blumlein - Coincident figure-eight mics at 90 degrees
Semi-coincident - Two mics angled to encompass the sound stage but also
spaced between 6 and about 48 inches apart to add time-of-arrival/phase
differences to the amplitude differences caused by the directional pattern.
The following techniques are semi-coincident:
ORTF - Office de Radio-Television Francaise - two cardioids angled 110
degrees, spaced 170 mm.
NOS - Nederlandsche Omroep Stichting - two cardioids angled 90 degrees,
spaced 300 mm apart.
AB - Generally two spaced cardioids facing forward to slightly angled
apart
