SoundField ST250 Microphone System Re-Mixes Elvis
The SoundField ST250 Microphone System has been used in the re-mixing of "Elvis 30 #1 Hits" for both stereo CD and 5.1 surround DVD.
The enviable task of mixing all of these tracks fell into the hands of producer/engineer David Bendeth and veteran recording engineer Ray Bardani.
"We actually worked with both the three and four-track masters in a way that had never been done before,” states Bendeth, “We set up a Tannoy speaker in a very large room. In front of the speaker we placed a SoundField ST250 Microphone System and in the back of the speaker we placed a variety of vintage ribbon mics. The idea was to recreate the space and feel of Elvis' band, and then place him at the heart of the group.”
“The SoundField technology is really amazing,” continues Bendeth, “although, to tell you the truth, it's so revolutionary, that I still don't quite understand how it works, its magic! The microphone takes a single point signal and tracks it to multiple tracks. Somehow the signal, which doesn't sound that different until you output the various tracks to the SoundField SP451 Surround Processor, is interpolated by the system. When you incorporate the processor into the picture, you end up with a signal that's separated into five different spatial dimensions, six if you include the sub-woofer information that it also outputs. It was really incredible.”
"Ideally, the system works best when you feed the ST250 microphone information from eight or nine different directions,” adds Bendeth. “That way, the SP451 Surround Processor can accurately represent the real image in 5.1. We didn't have that luxury when working with the mono, and three and four-track masters. We were learning on the fly! That's why in the mono mode, we set up the SoundField microphone behind the speaker, to help create more ambience for the surround field we were creating. The final results are really exceptional. We're proud of the fact that we were able to create one, continuous soundfield across an entire CD that started out with tracks recorded over many years and in many different formats. There's no way that we could have achieved the results that we got without this revolutionary new SoundField technology."
