Stereo Microphone Techniques with SevenSuns Quartet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- With help from the amazing Seven)Suns quartet, performing their original composition "Trivisia", we demonstrate four popular stereo microphone techniques: X-Y, Spaced Pair, ORTF and NOS. Throughout the piece, we crossfade between the four stereo pairs to compare the differences in width and center image.
Full recordings of each stereo pair can be downloaded from:

It sounds like i'm at the hells gate
2:24 was really helpful to hear the microphone quality. thank you.
Really nice, but wish the videographers laid low instead of aggressively roving and editing angles as if this were their original creative project -- instead, it's a corporate advertisement. That stylistic conceit was all a huge distraction from the comparison methodology.
No mid/side?!? :-o
Really well made presentation of microphone positions, very useful. The spaced pair sounded nice and wide in the near field monitors but exceptionally wide on the bigger monitors. Too wide for this situation. XY sounded a bit lame on the near field but pretty good on the large speakers. ORTF and NOS are pretty safe bets in this case IMHO.
And what a performance by SevenSuns - wow! They seem to appear as "seven)suns" at Spotify. I'm a fan!
Where I live, this kind of music is called "cockroach death". At the end of such a piece of music, there must be a loud sound of hitting the wall with a slipper.
Don't thank me. It's not obligatory.
Great, this is horror movie music.
VSM tech,very s* music.
the really excited violin dude has mad biceps XD
Wow, the spaced pair, and NOS were great. Not a fan of XY. Sounds boxy and scooped. This was great. And I loved the piece and its impactful performance.
I'm guessing a lot of these commenters are not into metal, rock, film music, etc. Some people are still conservatives trapped in the 18th century. What a pity.
Hello. Did you listen to it on headhones or speakers?
@@elrecreodelasmusasnuevas headphones, if I recall...
Most string quartet music is classical (not a value statement, just factual)...so classical is what most folks would expect when they pull up a video labeled "mic techniques with quartet" - and it's how most folks would have opportunity to apply those techniques.
Thank You
welllllll.... this probably is what you get when you play spotify in the hell...
Very impressive performance! And great audio quality. Thank you
XY has always been my go to for the best image. Any EQ concerns are easily compensated for during or in post.
Mashed pair is best for this music
I think at 0:21 NOS and ORTF are in the wrong order, aren't they? We see NOS when he says ORTF.
Anyway.. Great video, thanks a lot!
I never liked XY, and I still don't.
Completely inappropriate selection of music to demonstrate stereo recording techniques. You can't focus on the placement of anything in the sound stage because nothing sits still for long enough, and since no one instrument plays a coherent part, you can't mentally follow what any one instrument is going to do next. (Tbf, I suspect yt may be excessively compressing the audio as joint stereo. Yes, I listened with headphones.)
What a shame, it otherwise seemed like a good demo setup, but for that.
Как можно тестировать систему на такой экспрессивной музыке,трудно сосредоточиться,лучше бы подошло что из классики и романтизма.
Wow, so scratchy and unpleasant, who want to listen that, not even most expensive ribbons wouldn't help here. Horror movie music?
Never heard a string quartet before? lol
Music by Satan
People here saying wrong choice of music as if such kind of a decision could ever go wrong.
Were the spaced pair omnidirectional ??? ( and all the others cardioids)?
Very helpful. Thanks! I can not stand AB here, way too diffuse. XY is by far the best (on speakers) and of course with the best mono compatibility (which is important IMO for several reasons). NOS was just too tight and ORTF was "o.k." IMO, but no reason not to use XY - when the imaging is much more precise (listening on full-range speakers with a very good imaging).
XY is the best for me ! not Fortississimo enough smash that violin
Great concept but completely wrong music to gauge the results
wow....the music of a violent spirit....
Great musical selection. The different playing techniques help to let you hear how percussives and other sounds are rendered in each.
maybe for the sound engineers this is helpful but that music is too busy
had it actually been music, it would have helped focusing on whats really important (the sound). Thanks for the effort though
This is actually real music. Learn how to appreciate it.
@@Bohemianstrings2023 Possibly a more relevant point is that it's easier to evaluate engineering aspects when applied to familiar music (of whatever genre). As an analogy, you're probably aware of the standard advice for consumers to bring along their own CDs etc. when comparing and assessing audiophile playback systems.

terrible .....
Masterpiece Seven suns
I think it's called seven nuns
@Altus Hendriks 0:4 secs ...Seven suns ....you can see for yourself on the description too.
Damnnnnnn! That Violin dude got hands!!!!
