Tony Faulkner reveals his approach to recording classical professionally with a pair of figure 8 microphones, spaced and facing forward. in recent years he has added two omni ouriggers at about 60-61cm and he wiggles everything a little bit until it sounds just right. he chooses to tape in a way very similar to ours as opposed to close-micing every last thing until it sounds like every member of the orchestra is only one inch from your face.
