Bruce Swedien is extremely right. Recording just one source (instead of mono) in stereo with 2 mics makes a tremendous difference.
One can feel all the space around.
Both mics were held by hand and pointed to singing mouth at a distance of approximately 4in. Proximity effect was compensated with Pleiades filters of 82 and 87 mH. Details on how they are made in earlier euroelectron posts.
The difference is amazing without and with Pleiades filters. From muddy lows to crystal clear sound with body. On stereo the sound was a joy.
Setup:
Sennheiser MD441 U3 - Pleiades 82mH - Sony TC-D5 PRO II L channel
AKG D112 - Pleiades 87mH - Sony TC-D5 PRO II R channel
(monitoring on Sennheiser HD 580 precision, cassette was TDK SAX 60)
Both mics sounded amazing. What can one say about these miracles of engineering. And the analog recording made one press stop and rewind, "did this happen now or was it recorded on tape?"
