Alright,
The opportunity came up for me to mic and mix a live gig. It's going to be heavy on vocals and background vocals...hell...it's a college accapella group. I've never done anything like this before, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/tips for me.
Since I've only got one mic (mxl v67), I guess I'm going to have to purchase (or rent) some mics for this. my idea is to mic the greoup in the background with a couple of instrument condensors, and then a mic in front for the soloist. maybe one more mic just for the basses. Seem like a good/bad idea?
Also, since this is live, I know I'll probably need a notch filter or soemthing to cut feedback, a condensor to boost everything, and possibly reverb to fill out the sound.
Wow. I might be in over my head. This is going to be fun.
Any help you guys have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!
