In Reply to: mics and placement for recording speakers realistically posted by Adriel on December 22, 2010 at 14:01:28:
and you have total control of acoustics. We also are very far from creating a microphone that is as versatile and forgiving as the human ear-brain mechanism. Omni directional microphones are notorious for picking up reflections and accentuating reverberations.
About the only place omni mics are used in music recording is in classical music and they go to great lengths to control acoustics and reflections. They choose the correct architecture, bring in deep valour-velvet drapes to cover empty seats, cover mirrors or reflective surfaces. Omni mics are also used in anechoic chambers as test microphones in real time analyzers, generally ON AXIS with the sound source BUT those are carefully controlled rooms (those rooms with the pryimidal arrayed walls, no flat surfaces and suspended wire floors).
