STEREO APPLICATIONS

RECORDING MOVING SOUND EFFECTS

Very specific sounds -- and backgrounds -- that have movement should be recorded in ste-

reo.

Keep the mic stationary as the moving object passes. If possible use a tripod or mic stand.

Panning the mic to follow the object will defeat the purpose of recording in stereo.

stationary mic

a single car

(aka “car-by”)

RECORDING BACKGROUNDS and AMBIENCES

This is the most common use for a stereo mic. Use a tripod or mic stand. Step away while

recording and avoid making any noise.
