I am going to start recording live ensembles regularly, mostly high school bands, theater performances, etc. I have searched the forums, learned a lot, but haven't found exactly what I've been looking for. To get things started, here is my current mic list:
(1) Audio Technica AT-4040
(1) AKG D112
(1) Sennheiser MD 421 II
(2) Rode NT5
(2) Audix D2
(3) Shure SM-57
(2) Sennheiser e609
(1) MXL 2001
I was thinking of using the nt-5's as a spaced pair or x-y (suggestions?). they have yielded impressive results as overheads for drums. or maybe i should just use the 4040? or both?
the recording will be done in band rooms as well as auditoriums. i will be doing this regularly so i would like to invest in a better microphone(s) that will serve this purpose better. i dont have a large budget, would like to stay under $400 at this point. i have heard good things about the akg c1000s...
also, i would be bringing a laptop/pc and recording into pro-tools le (digi002r) for the moment. would it be good to invest in a field recorder and small mixer instead?
