Image Assistant

One of the guys at Schoeps threw me a link to this "image assistant"-
it looks pretty cool- you can calculate the recording angles for different stereo and surround recording techniques- check off your mic's polar patterns and the desired configuration and see the results on the graphs- interesting.
anyway just wanted to share

That is nice.

Takes a little time to interpret what you are seeing & to make meaningful comparisons between configurations but it's very interesting when you do get there.

I thought more folks knew about this. It's been a great help on location with stereo pair work. I came up with a nice semi-coincident scheme of figure-8 that worked well. try it out... it helps visualize why some techniques work and others don't... as well some new ideas to try.

it's a little weird getting started- it's not exactly user friendly, but it can def. be useful.

Hey Steve- is that the world's fair grounds in queens i see in your avatar??

nizer,

Yes, it is indeed Flushing Meadow Park which was the fair grounds for two World's Fairs and the home to US Open Tennis each and every year.

Many years ago, one of my remote trucks was parked inside the old skating rink recording a local Irish rock band called "Ragan Road." We used the huge facility as our studio space for their first and only album.

Here's a close up picture of Jethro inside the pavilion...
