So I just had one of those "why did I do that?" moments.
I've been using M-S on a lot of things, and doing it during the performance so I can hear what it's going to sound like. However I've been using a cheap hard-wired mic splitter, and I've wondered why it's noisy and such
. Well duh so I am wondering, other than a dedicated M-S decoder, what is a good way to split a mic signal to get it to two different tracks?
I don't think I want a splitter with a transformer and all that, because the signals are supposed to be identical. However I could use it to get a "rough idea" and then double the straight track and phase reverse, etc.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, what I record usually doesn't have a FOH system so I've never needed a pro mic splitter before.
Also I'd like decent quality but money's tight right now so keep that in mind...
