Same bit of music on mics A and B. The only way I can explain such a
discrepancy in the volume envelopes is if the mics were MUCH too close
to the clarinet. That would explain the excessive key noise too.


I don't think they were, but ideal pacement isn't possible when you have two
mic stands trying to occupy the the same spot. I've made my choice of mics
for now and will be experimenting (in a slapdash, careless, slack-arsed,
*hobbyist* kind of way) to find the 'sweet spot' for both the clarinet and
the sax - in those recordings, one morphed into the other while I was having
a bit of a nap, earlier on!

I'm going to have to go again for the piano when we get the buzz sorted out.



Want to try again with the mics at least a couple of feet back? That
might give something more meaningful.


No, that's done and dusted now - counting an offlist 'vote' (Iain, right on
the money, as you might expect) and you as an A, I take it I've got 3 As and
1 B so far!
