Hi,
I'm going to be recording live theater - a musical that includes lots of dialogue in addition to the songs. There's going to be between one person and approximately 40 people onstage during the show.
I'll be recording both video and audio, and I need some recommendations on what type of audio gear I should use.
The theater seats about 500 people and has decent acoustics. My camera + mic will be between 50 and 100 ft from the stage. There's a remote possibility that I can get about 10' away from the stage to place mics, but they'll be at an extreme angle off center.
I plan to grab a feed out of the soundboard into a linux box, but I expect serious drawbacks to this method: sync problems, and non-mic'd actors.
I would like to hear any recommendations for a good low-to-middle end microphone setup to use for recording this type of event.
Do I want to mount a pair of cardoid shotgun type mic on booms and aim them at the stage?
Any recommendations you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
