For someone who talks so much about recordings you seem to know very little about the art of recording. Had you knowen enough about this subject you would not have said what you did and I would not have to post this. You would have knowen that the discription in the Mercury CD booklet was solely about gain riding (passive EQ) and balance. Perhaps you had no idea what gain riding was untill now! No matter if it is a Mercury LP or CD, they were both made from the same master and thus subject to the same EQ/commpression, if applied at the time of recording. And what makes you think that there was no EQ applied at the time of the CD mastering?! Did Wilma consult with you?
Further, your outright dismissal of a well knowen fact: that the classic tube mikes, yes, the very same models with the far from flat responce usad by Mercury, Decca, RCA and EMI, are still used in the pop/rock studios and often as vocal mikes for the pop "divas", shows that you are the one who is being cavalier. Your statetment "divas do not use omni", again proves what I have said above: you know very little about this subject. These mikes in question are not fixed omnis, but variable pattern mikes! I had mentioned the Coles, just to show that there was a truly flat and transparent mike around at the time Mercury, RCA and Decca made the recordings that are worshiped the faithful. Of course, the Coles being a ribbon mike and thus a true figure-of-eight transducer, perfect for Blumlein and MS recordings, was of no use to the spaced omni gang. And no, I do not use Coles mikes. Had you read the CD booklet throughly you would have noted this fact. Who is being hasty in is comments?
