Today I am discussing the bi-directional microphone pattern. Here are a few thoughts and ideas. If you have any questions or knowledge that you want to share feel free to post a comment.
The Bi-Directional polar pattern was at first useful to me for one application and that was the Mid Side Stereo technique which i will discuss in an upcoming video. But then, I got a hold of a copy of Michael Stavrou’s ‘Mixing with Your Mind’ and he opened my mind to the power of the figure of eight (bi-directional) pattern. The power is in it’s fantastic ability to reject unwanted sound at the null points. Check out this video for details and feel free to drop any questions below in the comments or shoot me an email.
Thanks for coming along for the ride. Here’s to learning something new!
