Dark Summoning

Thawing into motion, ever rising to the breaking point

Spanner

The ever pressure of time, not running out, just running. Momentum forces expression. Time is all that lets us speak. 

This is a song made with the Korg Module version of Soundiron Voice Of Rapture - The Soprano, using only the chromatic articulations and effects. The drums are from Soundiron's Knockout Drum. The bass line is Fab Filter Twin. No other sounds or instruments used.

Brad Halverson - The Machinist

I'm always looking to shrink the size and weight of my rig. I just love carrying the minimum amount of equipment!  I did this test to see how small I could go with microphone separation without sacrificing quality. All configurations were Clippy EM172 stereo pair to Sony PCM-A10.

My conclusion is that AB40cm rig with simple Rycote lav wind protection gives me a great sound with a very small and light footprint but not great wind protection. The quasi-binaural rig gives perhaps a more accurate stereo field with the advantage of excellent wind protection (it is housed in the equivalent of a blimp with proper windjammer). To get better wind protection for the AB40cm rig would require a massive and heavy (by my standards) blimp.

1. AB20cm - narrow, too narrow...
2. AB30cm - getting wider, pretty nice...
3. AB40cm - wider still but nice balance of width and centre-image?
4. AB60cm - very wide but hole in the middle?
5. Quasi-binaural (20cm spacing with foam cylinder baffles) - improved placement of sounds in the stereo field?

Would be very interested to hear what other folks think. Please comment if you care to.
