Cool Fathead Classical Guitar MS

Hello fellow Gear slutz! I recently bought a matched pair of Fathead Ribbons through Bayview Pro Audio. Yesterday was my first chance to try them out - Here is a very short snippet that I recorded in my parents living room (home for Turkey Day) while everyone was asleep.

I am posting this as a reference available for those who are interested in hearing the Fatheads in MS configuration. I manually decoded (copy side, flip phase, pan & adjust volumes etc.) No e.q., no compression - just a bit of ReaVerbate on side channels and a quick normalization. "Mixed" with no monitors :( just phones. Hope this is helpful for some of you writing your lists for Santa!

Guitar ~ (slightly to the left) 1 foot from Fathead in MS (Blumlein rotated 90deg) => FF400 (using built in pres)=>Reaper @ 44.1 24bit.

I am pretty happy with the results, esp. considering untreated (though decent sounding) room and no eq. Will do a test with my RNP tomorrow maybe(just came today ).

Go on, give er' a listen!
