I don't currently own these mics, but will be purchasing them very soon:
Marshall 2003
Oktava mc012
Behringer ECM8000
The venue: it will either be a small, warm concert hall, or a moderate luterhan-style church. It will be a stradivarius violin played by a professional, and probably a grochensteinveg (sp?) grand piano.
The music: classical music - all possible genres (baroque up through contemporary, with an emphasis on 20th century)
The recording equipment: Mixer: Mackie 1402 or 1604 (trying to figure out if i can afford a 1604) or a Soundcraft M8.
Recorder: 4-track digital usb into WinXP laptop.
So here's my question(s):
What are some possible good mic setups (obviously experimentation, but where to start) and even more so, i'm not sure what to record to which tracks since i'm limited to 4 simultaneous recorded tracks. SUggestions??
Thanks!
