Metal Workshop Session

is a full angle recordings from a metal workshop. All the machines in all the formats and angles. Choose between the close 416 mono mic, with the full power of the engine, or the far surround format recorded 20 meters away!

We record this wonderful session with Antonio Muñoz, spanish sound recordist and pro tools operator.

This way we managed to get all the sounds from the visit to the workshop!

This library was recorded in a Double MS mic configuration for the surround files. This provides great postproduction possibilities.

”Double M/S” is an improved version of the well-known M/S stereo recording technique. In addition to a front facing cardioid or supercardioid ”mid” microphone and a figure-8 ”side” microphone, a rear-facing directional microphone is set up. The front- and rear-facing microphones share the signal of the figure-8 microphone so as to form two complete, back-to-back M/S systems. One M/S system then provides the three front channels (the center channel signal being provided directly by the mid microphone of the front system), while the other system provides the two surround channels. An arrangement of this kind allows flexible processing of the stereo surround image width and post-production adjustment for both of the M/S pairs.

5.1 and ST edited files have been mastered with Pro Tools HD system, and Surround Double MS Tool by Shoeps. It will be useful for Double MS RAW Collection. More info and download can be found here .
