Hi Marco! The placement of the microphones in relation to the sound source allows for “artistic expression” as there is not a single answer. The closer the microphones are to the sound source, the more anechoic (dry) signal will be captured whereas the further away they are, the acoustics of the location will play a more significant part in the sound being captured. A general starting point may be placing the microphones within their pickup acceptance angle to the sound source. If the quartet is in a semi-circle, place the microphones at the centroid.

Nope. The image should reflect the actual sitting of the instruments from the listener perspective. Still, for me the three cases have to heavy panning. I'd reduce it to 60% of that. No one sits where the mics are.
Agree, i felt the same. Since the musicians are mixing themselves, the chello should be put in the back of the quartet, the chello sound is too dominant now
Sincere thanks for the effort, but as Professor of audio engineering for 30+ years and a recording engineer of more time, I have to say that the room is unacceptable and/or the placement too close. Too much early reflection---especially for the genre---and the sound in smeared with phase interference.
Why do you always use large diaphragm microphones?? When I do Blumlein or M/S, I only use small diaphragm microphones! The distance between the two microphones must be as small as possible for both, Blumlein or M/S! That's why such an arrangement with two large membranes is an "orangutan-like" arrangement! And: Large-Diaphragm-Microphones in Recordings with string-ensembles ??? Oh no !!!!
Love the sound of the Blumlein arrangement.
I came here specifically to here that technique in action.
0:53 M/S
1:43 X/Y
2:34 Blumlein
I think talking over demo tracks was a bad idea.
M/S stands for mid-side sooo it's 2:34 config.

I never realized it was that easy. I had thought in a studio there would be microphones everywhere like how it is with a drum set
Your should include the mics and links in the description that might help others
Great video! Blumlein is the winner!
unfortunately I have absolutely not understood where the microphones are positioned in relation to the quartet.

Appreciate this video!
Should have pushed the mid mic up a few DB on the mid/side demo. It was super wide and hollow.
Many thanks. Excellent, informative video.

THE BASHER!!!! How awesome :-)
I think the 4080 might be the greatest microphone ever made.
first technique is to find a room that's not completely dead when recording classical music ;)
Reverb
you can always add REVERB via post production
@@empireentertainmentevents1353 Yea its not the same though ;)
@@MCMeru its easier to add reverb then to remove :P
I'm prety sure it's pronounced BLOOM - LINE but great demo
youd think theyd get the balance right for this, the cello is way to much and you cant hear the viola
Agree, i felt the same. Since the musicians are mixing themselves, the chello should be put in the back of the quartet, the chello sound is too dominant now
No ORTF comparison?
What piece of music is this??
What about solo violin?
add a tube pre in line or not?
violin violas jealous Texas taco places
Awesome explanation! just please stop shouting...it's still early in the morning :)....
Dialogue sounds terrible though.

how to add height info,,,, more depth too,, welcome to 21st century,,,, we are in 3 d
The cello should be in the middle...
It can be either way, it’s just up to personal preference
In the middle and also more in the back since it creates more volume than the violins do
Those people have obviously never played together. There's not a single moment of eye contact.
great information, but shouting at us is annoying and not to be confused with enthusiasm

Great miking technique explanation. Annoying piece.
