Hi all,
I wanted to post what my upcoming project is and see if anyone had some advice they could share with me in regards to setup etc.
I am being hired by a local High school to record and edit 20 songs by their various ensembles. These include choir, concert band, jazz band, and a rock/worship band. They have a beautiful auditorium in which to record (seats 1000 plus, balcony and all) and I was thinking of recording the ensembles in this room (maybe not the jazz bands). They also have an acoustically treated practice room where I'll probably do the jazz/rock bands.
What I'm looking for is advice on what mics and how many to use for recording the choir and concert bands. I'm thinking 8 mics for those ensembles to keep it simple. Can anyone who has done this type of thing share some wisdom, recommendations, mic choices etc.? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm planning on doing this all straight to my 867 G4 TiBook through two MOTU 896s. Thanks again.
