In an STS Master Tape Copy Recording, you will find:

1. The warm sound, that acoustic instruments possess on their own, but is often not captured by sound-technicians
2. Acoustic placing and recognition of the musicians in the recording space
3. Phase purity of a recording, both the electric phase (good cable/fibre connections etc), and the acoustic phase must be acquired through proper placement of the microphones
4. Symmetry in the recording; this means always placing the microphones in such a way that on both the left and the right side there’s an equal division of signal, and not placing mono support microphones on the extreme left and right
5. Transparency and clarity in a recording. This does not mean an overly sharp recording, but one of softness in tone and clarity, in which especially the 3-dimensional recording space is being displayed
