Sure, I do it all the time. I use it most frequently on drumkit, acoustic guitar, and as a general ambience for an ensemble. I also occasionally record electric guitar using MS.

I have used and liked 414s, SM2, C24, and AT 4050s. I have also used a 4050 as the side mic with several other cardioid or omni choices for center. I think I prefer the 4050s for most applications because of their clarity, relatively high output and low noise, and consistency.

I really love the dimension that comes from MS recording. There's something really natural-sounding to me about recording in MS.
