Microphone recommendation for recording 2 channel demos

Thanks appreciate it. Im gonna head to an AV shop tomorrow.

I might grab a pair of omnidirectional mics too to plug into the recording for even better sound.

@porchlight1 Nice thanks man. I just saw the PCM D100 as well and now I want it.. facepalm.

@carlsbad2  Obviously sound demos are just for fun. Not really looking to get into the merits of their sound. I do enjoy sound sommeliers videos and wouldn't mind having sound quality like him. Good sound on youtube is still better than crappy youtube sound.

@yoyoyaya I don't mind syncing in post but which model Zoom do you think I should get?

@mihorn i think it is a real live recording of the system... what would the point be of a dub? The whole point is to let people hear the actual system (albeit through youtube)

@yoyoyaya Im open to even the h5. I really wish i could get that sony but i need it for friday and no stores I can see in ontario carry it.

@yoyoyaya ehat about a pair of cardioid condensers like the rode nt5

@yoyoyaya Watch the video in my first post and you'll see what I am trying to do. And that is a real recording of the room you can hear the sound change as he walks around the speaker. No clue mihorn can't hear that.

I got a tascam x8 today. It sounds ok when I record my home speaker system but surprisingly not as good as my blue yeti mic in stereo mode.

So now im scrambling to find a better xlr mic (or mics) that I Can plug into the x8 for better audio for the show later today. Its my fault for not doing my research ahead of time.

@moonwatcher great suggestions. Honestly the recordings I did at home with my blue yeti in stereo mode were pretty solid for what I want and if I could just mimic this in a portable setup I would be happy. I thought the tascam built in stereo mics would mimic that quality but its a step down from the blue yeti imo.

Do you think the rode m5 or nt5 would be a step above the built in xy tascam mics ?

Shows over I ended up just sticking to the tascam due to lack of time. Recordings were ok. Will post a link when I get my video up. For next year though I definitely want a better setup to give more of a sense of being there at the show.

I saw in 1 of sound sommeliers videos (ns5000 vid) in his reflection it looked like he had a omni lav mic (im guessing a pair) on curve stiff mic attachments attached to his camera.

@moonwatcher not a bad idea. Now that I have time I can experiment with whats good.

Listening to my recordings I am getting a sense that they were good at picking up sounds close up.. the direct sound but not ideal for the room and getting the room reverb and low end... in that regard even my rode video mic was better to some extent.
