ORTF method  The ORTF method is the second most common stereo
recoding technique in use today. This setup yields very impressive results
with bright, small diaphram microphones like the Schoeps Collette series
and the B & K microphones. Due to the bright, strident sound of these
microphones the sharp focused recording of the X-Y method exaggerates these
characteristics. This yields a recording that can be difficult to listen
to for "Golden Ears" on high resolution systems. However using the ORTF methods
produces a sweet sound with lots of depth without allowing the strident nature
of these microphones to be heard. I have mastered hundreds of shows using
the Schoeps mics, with the ORTF method yielding stunning
results. My attempts, with more natural sounding mics, using this technique
have been less than satisfing.
