Post Subject: Sound fieldPosted by zako on: 12/27/2010

I have hundreds of photos taken at recording sessions,,,(thats another hobby of mine,,), The so called sound field is a real joke,,,In perticular one photo of the Berliner Symphony orchestra,,, The mics and mic stands are high up 15 ft or more,,Mics pointed down at the BALD HEADS of the players,,and sweeting mics helter skelter in the orchestra,,,Thats a sound field ???? ,, The soloist at the piano has two mics under the sound lid,,inches from the piano strings,,, What the fuck for??,,,Thats a sound field??? Like my dead ol mono friend would say ,,SLAME THAT FUCKING piano lid down on that recording engineers head. John Atkinson(stereophile ed) did a recording of a small JAZZ group,,a couple of years ago, again several mics were under the lid,,I noticed in the photo,,He forgot to hook up the other end to his mixing board,, Another photo i have is 14 mics on a drum kit,,NOW THATS A SOUND FIELD..
