I don't fully agree on the benefits of using omnis.
A *good* cardioid will reproduce the bass as well,
even if maybe you need to EQ a few dB. And spaced omnis
on organs or anything that produces long sustained notes
can be a disaster for mono compatibility, unless they are
spaced much more than a meter. And in that case you risk
the 'hole in the middle' or you need at least three mics.
Thanks too for your advice. How important is mono compatibility, given
that these recordings are burnt to CD as stereo, and handed out to
people who listen to them on their stereos at home?
Many people today have a "stereo" where the two speakers are about 20cm away
from each other. Which makes it mono for any practical listening.
Other people listen to it in their car. Either they have a Maibach with a Bose
sound-system, or each passenger will sit in front of one speaker and only hear
the other channel very thin => Mono for all practical efforts.
And if they really like your music, they will listen to it from their mobile
phone. Again in mono.
Hmm, I don't have a phone that plays music, but my Palm PDA and my iPod
both output stereo when using headphones. ;-)
