Dunno. I guess most of us will use something like a Sure SM58 and not a Brauner VM-1, so we have more serious troubles but time domain ;). Even the best home recordings I made have one weak point, the microphonics :(. I guess unknowingly I change positions to reduce time domain issues at home, but I don't think for me and other people using dynamic microphones at home, this is something we should take care by using the calculater. I guess the better the recording equipment is, the more it's needed to take care about this, while for other issues I guess the cheaper the equipment is, the more we need to take care for some issues. On the Ardour mailing list there's a similar issue, because of recording live ambiance. Summarized I guess it's easier to record three pairs of mics and to chose just one pair for the mastering, than trying to record one perfect arranged pair of mics. While you do the sound check your overhead mics are fine and while the concert they record the fan headlight that wasn't turned on during the sound check. Circumstances like a unnoticed fan can damage a recording more than less optimized phases. That's why I'm critical with taking too much care for audio engineering theory. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
