    First of all I love the Synchron Strings I and the sound of the Beautiful Synchron Stage, but I am very curious about the microphones that were used during the recordings, brand names, and how each microphone was used and where it was placed.

    For example what kind of microphone is the close mic?

    1. Close Mic (Mono)

    2. Mid Mic – Front row of Ensemble (L/R)

    3. Back Mic – Second row of Ensemble (L/R)

    4. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Stereo (L/R)

    5. Main/Room Mic – Decca Tree Mono (Center)

    6. Main Surround – Stereo (L/R)

    7. High Stereo (3D) – Stereo (L/R)

    8. High Surround (3D) – Stereo (L/R)

     

    I would be so happy to get answears for this geek question

    Kind Regards,

    Betuel.

    Hi Paul, sorry if I jumped the gun a little bit 😊 and I appreciate you taking the time to write me that list,

    Maybe you could also include pre amps as well.

    Warmest regards,

    Betuel
