So I have access to a Neumann RSM 191. I was planning on taking it out and seeing what I could capture, but realized that I have no way to decode the MS while recording.
See, I have just a MixPre and an M10 neither of which offers MS decoding or MS linking. So my question is, do I go for the flexibility of MS and just get by with panning Mid = Left, Side = Right and monitor that way, crossing my fingers on mic placement, or do I switch to XY and know that what I'm monitoring is the stereo image I'm recording?
