Dear ASSR:

Could you please give us some thoughts on stereo mic techniques? A little on the M-S method was done with the choir section (which was excellent, btw.) What other circumstances would you use M-S for, outside of classical music?

When do you use crossed-conincident mics? ORTF technique? Use of Decca trees?

Also, could you give some practical details on how to best use two microphones to work on an electric guitar amp, as was suggested in that chapter - I think the interviewee said a SM57 up close, and a Royer 121 (or some other mic) at a distance. What's your preferred method for that?

Thanks so much!

T. Fiala
