I know this has been discussed in various forms before, but I would like to get some fresh opinions. I will be recording a concert band (about 50 piece) in (and I hate to say this) a gymnasium. I have no choice in the venue, but I do have some choice in how I approach the recording. My question is what is the best way to capture a good stereo image of the band without capturing too much of the room ambience? I have seen suggestions that ORTF mic placement would be good in a situation like this. But what about a spaced pair in front of the band? I will be using a pair of ADK SC-1 small condenser mics.
thanks.
