Post Subject: Recording of playback and phase issue.Posted by CO on: 9/15/2008
Hello Andy,

I like your recordings although i am listening on headphones which i normally do not use. My Main setup is not operational right now.
They do sound clean, clear and dynamic.

Can you let us hear a recording of the live vs playback? This would be very interesting i think. How educated are these people sound wise that they cannot tell the real from playback? I'm also curios as to what kind of horns you are using to fool them.

Also what distances are you using for mics to source ? are they right in front of the people that undergo the test ?
Are the musicians completely quiet before the jury is seated and blindfolded not to give away the reverberation of the venue?

It seems like my VLC player is reversing the polarity incorrectly. It sounds more spacious and less in your face, less harsh when i reverse the polarity on this player.
On two other players it sounds better in the regular position (these can not be flipped though)
Never tested it on headphones and did not know it was so apparent.. Perhaps because of the flat phase resp of the ribbon mics that it is so obvious ?

Do you always respect absolute polarity?

Regards,

Collin
