Dave you have always astounded me. Great interview, reminds me of old conversations underway, over my head but informative.

Holy Moses! I think of you from time to time. It isn't every day that I bump into someone from the days I was a sonar tech.

I could add that being in the Navy was very helpful later. . . Learning how to oversee people and keeping them on task has been very useful, particularly when I have a tech who is getting his **s busted by a "dog" of a repair.

I bought the Ma 200...a masterpiece of a microphone. Thank you Mr. Royer.

Great interview! I don't think Nick had any idea what he was in for, haha. David is full of knowledge!

O. M. G. I think this is something I need to look into. What I get from this is that I could take a band, that has a good sound and knows how to play, I could put them in a room with 2 mics properly set up and get a great sound. This is very interesting. You listen with 2 ears, so is it possible to put your 2 ears in the right spots in the room and get a great recording. If I’m understanding this correctly, then you should be able to get levels at the source right and the put mic’d in the right spot and use a 2 channel input and have a great live recording of that band. That is such a cool idea and in this age of using 8 mics on a drum kit and 2-4 mics on every string instrument, then using a specific preamp and EQ for each mic... I really wanna try to find a space and try some stuff out. This is so deep and very cool, thanks Sweetwater for putting this up, may seem dry and too techie but this could be such a cool way to do stuff on a budget.

Most music recordings up through the 1950s were made with a single mic (they were all mono recordings). It's definitely possible with the right techniques and musicians that are trained for that. Using multiple close mics and recording tracks for each mic came after because that made it easier to re-record specific instruments, mix them differently than they were recorded, and a host of other benefits. It's an interesting history to study! Fun fact: Les Paul (yes, that Les Paul) was an instrumental pioneer in multitrack recording. He invented one of the very first multitrack recording systems (which he used for dubbing multiple parts, not recording many tracks at once).

Dave McCall it’s such a cool and foreign theory to me. I’m gonna have to research it and try it out. I’m sure it’s a bit more difficult than using a flashlight and a 57 jammed on the grill cloth. Lol. I really just need to grab a couple of mics and a 2 channel interface and try it as much as I can. I’m just blown away, such a cool thing to try.

Two weeks ago I recorded a live concert of piano trios (piano, violon and cello) using a pair of mikes feeding a little SONY pocket recorder. The playing and the recording were one step away from witchcraft.

David is a genius. I am an amateur but in David-s definiton as I am a card carrying enginner with a massive love of ribbon mics. I own over 30. One day I will offer to sweep David's floors to hang out with such brilliant microphone developers!! I came up with a question this month that the Internet has not solved for me. I watched videos from Royer about using an oscilloscope in X-Y mode to produce a Lissajous curve to set the ribbon to the exact right tension based on the resonant frequency. OK, I understand but I will be damned if I know where to place the two scope probes so I get a phase difference! If you put them on each end of the ribbon the Lissajous is in phase regardless of frequency. Maddening. Any thoughts? I don't even know who to ask except David and he won't read this post! LOL.

Just amazing. I LOVE my ma1000. It would be so cool to test out a prototype of that Sony-esque design he's building. I'll be a guinea pig! Burbank is only 20 minutes away from my front door, so maybe I'll just pop in one day. :)

Royer knows the greatness of simple stereo live miking.Nasty multi tracked 10 mic recordings have ruined the beauty of true pure recording.

I appreciate that. . ..I have given presentations a couple of times of stereo recordings from various sources and the audiences were very impressed. It helped that the playback system could convincingly reproduce my recording of THUNDER
