Double MS recording is an audio recording technique used to record surround sounds using three microphones. The mid mic usually a cardioid mic, the sides using a figure of 8 mic, and the rear using another cardioid mic. This is usually used for recording ambiance sounds and not live music.[1][2]
From these three tracks, five channels can be extracted:
- Center= Mid/Mid Mic
- Left=Mid+Side
- Right=Mid+Invert(Side)
- Surround Left=Rear+Side
- Surround Right=Rear+Invert(Side)
