point is we are talking about the pattern of the mic, if it picks up in
a
figure 8 pattern, it is a figure 8! why would it matter as to how it is
achieved?
I see this as similar to you saying: using a mixer in
audition/protools/cuebase/etc on a computer to mix multiple tracks is
simulating using a true mixer.
now I wouldn't claim to be flying a plane if I were running this on my
computer http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx/,
if I were
playing
"guitar hero" http://www.guitarhero.com/
yes, that would be simulating
playing a "true guitar". however, if I am mixing on my computer it is a
real
mixer, if I am using one of those mic capsules I would be using a figure 8
mic.
I don't think any rules were written that said "for a figure 8 pattern to
be
recognized as a true 'figure 8' it must utilize no more than a single
(one)
transducing element"
