Still, this is all a continuation of a "discussion" I have been having with

the pleasure of discussing miking techniques with mr. williams :)
i met mike at the last tonmeistertagung in köln, where my very
unfortunate job was to tell him that we couldn't re-rig the speakers in
precisely the 3d arrangement he wanted, just for his talk, so i went
ahead and matrixed it onto an auro-3d setup. needless to say, he wasn't
quite buying this idea (it was more a "show or no show" kind of
decision), and i got a healthy dose of his microphone philosophy. while
i wasn't convinced by everything he put forward, it was quite
interesting nonetheless.
the funniest aspect of that situation was that i found myself defending
auro-3d (because that's what we had designed into that room) :-D
i briefly mentioned that, if i had had my way, there would have been a
HOA hemisphere in that room, and boy did i long for my asbestos underwear...
