Ho! Have I not had that! One of the very first recordings of Swim on the
joanna has the sound of a cup being 'carefully' put down in the kitchen
(me). The queer thing is that when it comes out on my computer speakers it
still sounds like it's coming from the kitchen!! I worked it out - the
angle
of the piano recording setup to the kitchen is pretty much the same as the
comuter speakers to the kitchen, only slewed through through about 90
deg.,
IYSWIM!! So the 'relationship' is maintained! (If I can find it, I will
post
it - it should soumd like it's off to the right and *behind* you!


Quite so - way outside the stereo field. But that is just mind over
matter; listening again I could hear it was really coming from the
expected spot.



Sure, same here but I think I have blown that recording anyway - if it crops
up again I will post it, even if well out of context.


Pic here - set up for ORTF, which is what I propose for this weekend.
I don't think this one will be suitable for noise comparisons, but
they will come.

Lovely, but isn't that a bit scary if you are worried about a possible hole
in the middle and that's going to be a *real, live session*...?? Or will you
have had the opportunity to check that setup by then?

Also, the shockmounts don't seem overly large - have you done any 'tapping
about' to check them for effectiveness?




I'm going the coward's route and setting them at 90 degrees. I am
certain of a good recording that way. The shock mounts are pretty
standard things - I'm sure they'll be ok . Not much time for playing
over the next couple of days. Spending the day with Ofcom

What have U dun to deserve that;!....

tomorrow (I
was a serial killer in a past life, apparently).
