[QUOTE="Shonver, post: 1143058, member: 34"] While two microphone recording might intuitively come closest to reproducing the "you are there" effect, this could just be its Achilles' heel. That is, if the live "mix" is wrong, that is what will end up in the recording. To illustrate: years ago I attended a mini-concert held at the Athlone library. It was local music presenter/sometime muso Gary van Dyk hosting a group of teenage musicians that he was apparently mentoring. While their efforts were admirable (school band vibes), the performance was somewhat laclustre (totally forgiveable, since they were novices), one of the flaws being a lack of balance between the levels of the respective instruments/players. Then, on the final set, Gary himself played a few songs. His presentation was completely different: he played that flute loud and proud! Every note was presented clearly down to the detailed nuances. It was the highlight of the evening. You can probably guess by my comments here that I am in favour of the stereo picture being constructed in the studio, rather than being left to the mercy of the circumstances in the venue. [/QUOTE]
