Hello friends,
I am making plans for a first trial recording sesion in a real concert hall for making IRs, with the ambition to ultimately surpass the Altiverb and Waves IR qualities of real spaces. Feedback from my clients suggest that I am using a very good deconvolution and postprocessing approach, as they say my current IRs are better than the highly acclaimed IRs from Altiverb and Waves from similar devices. (plug-plug-plug - sorry if I sound a bit too arrogant, but I'm just very proud of the results of my hobby, this is not a serious commercial project).
I know that there are lot of very professional composers and producers on this board, so I would like to ask you:
what type of mics are the best to use for sweep recordings in real spaces? Do I need mics that ressemble the characteristics of our ears in terms of directivity patterns or does that make no sense?
I know that there are different "schools" when it comes to recording sweeps in real spaces, e.g. the work of prof. Angelo Farina for Waves and the Audioease approach, but I want to go for an optimal approach in terms of human perception (my original education).
Thanks for any early reflections and again pardon my enthousiasm [;)]
Peter
