First off, i usually them in ORTF, after lots of experimenting (i have
not tried the omni's pointing at the ceiling though. That's why i post
here!) . The issue is no matter what room i try (for solo recording),
i find i have to be very close (like a few inches) ,,,


Follow up pending, looks like it will tke more time to type than I have this
morning ...

I have not tried the usbpre 2 yet but i'm not expected a huge
improvement from that. All the above was done with a tascam.


Well, recorder really doesn't matter all that much, mic matters and
positioning thereof.

Anybod who hasn't read it should search for the title "The stereophonic
zoom" in the AES library, it is a 1983 or so item, and the author has
written a new version, possibly including surround.

thanks


Kind regards
