I think you would be closer if you used 3 cardiod's. You could try running it through your decoder, and it might something cool, but MS it ain't.

But as Andrew mentioned, this isn't an MS setup at that point. Cool, and stereo, but not MS.RoadDog wrote:... and yes three cardiods will do the trick with a mix minus approach for imaging.
Yeah, other than teaching it over the years, I'm with you Keith. I haven't used this for anything in a long time. It does something all it's own, but was never my favourite "stereo" setup.RoadDog wrote:I must admit that I haven't actually used the technique since school days, so someone who is tracking with this method more recently than 1989 may have a clearer insight. Al, Andrew, Malcolm???

You could have actually recorded the mid mic to two tracks and flipped the phase on one to hear the final, while tracking. I mean it's ggreat that it turned out well anyways, but might make life a bit easier for next time.

I am well aware of this but I did it on purpose for final effect which was well worth it.

I have used it often with great results.
On two specific occasions including one very recently with excellent results.
I will ask Matt to get the latter example linked with a pre and post "decode" example.

I'll get to this when I have some time next week, I'm swamped at the moment with a new project.
