Couple more sweet mixes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB4oFu4BtQ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB4oFu4BtQ8 (Roots. The brass mix gives me goosebumps lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFycqnOpifQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFycqnOpifQ (Nickel Creek. If there really is only one mic someone has sold their soul. The sound stage is perfect.)

  Chris Thile is such a genius, Goat Rodeo (Chris Thile, Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan, Yo-Yo Ma) is one of my favourite things in the world https://youtu.be/O7EcT5YzKhQ https://youtu.be/O7EcT5YzKhQ

  > If there really is only one mic someone has sold their soul. The one mic thing is actually ort of a bluegrass tradition, stemming back from radio and how it was recorded. A lot of bluegrass players learn how to balance themselves around a single mic, moving towards or away with solo and leaning in over the instrument to sing.

    Nice! You can tell they know exactly what they are doing, i wasn’t aware of the relationship to bluegrass. I used to produce a (very) little bit of live music and the difference in ‘babysitting’ required between an professional performer and someone who may have an amazing or even superior talent but little experience was remarkable.

The sound stage is perfect. “Note: The secret of the 418-S is that it's two mics in one; a cardioid "mid" condenser capsule facing front, and a bidirectional capsule focused on either "side." It's a mid/side stereo mic that needs to be decoded in post, which allows you to control the stereo width of the image, even after the recording is made.” https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2019/04/02/705579879/tiny-tech-tips-microphones https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2019/04/02/705579879/t...

Not exactly Tiny Desk Concert, but close enough, my fave was an appearance by Steven Merritt (of the Magnetic Fields). This NPR series was called "Project Song"-- the challenge was to write and produce a song in two days. https://www.npr.org/2007/11/04/15859351/stephin-merritt-two-days-a-million-faces https://www.npr.org/2007/11/04/15859351/stephin-merritt-two-...
