My usual room- 40 x 40 with 25' ceilings, plus 14 x 40 dais. Small church sanctuary, upholstered chairs (not pews.)
Jazz trio- electric guitar, bass (not sure if upright or electric- probably upright,) piano.
Mics- AT 4040, several Shure SM-58's and 57's, choir condenser hanging from ceiling, two SM-18's. (all others in New Orleans, so inaccesable.)
Recording is NOT the main purpose, here- live concert is. Thus, whatever recording or mic placement I do will need to be unobtrusive.
Recording to a Zoom R16.
Thinking:
Channel Mic
1 Direct from guitar amp
2 sm57 on guitar amp
3 sm18 - piano (stereo)
4 sm57- bass
5 Choir condenser
6 AT4040
7 sm-18 piano (stereo)
8 sm58- room mic.
If no one replies, I am sure I got it, but other ideas, fresh to me, are welcome.
I recorded a bluegrass band with a similar setup (fewer mics- didn't use the choir condenser or sm18's,) in the same room, with good results, btw.
