I'm not much of an opera fan, but I had the opportunity to record a demo for my boss's sister (who just joined an opera company), and I thought I'd share the results.
This was recorded in a medium sized church (decent acoustics), with the singer standing in the "nook" (you know, the curvy part) of the baby grand, and the piano was open using the full stick. I used an M-S micing technique, with an AKG C4000B in cardioid mode feeding a PreSonus Eureka as the "M", and a Studio Projects T-3 in Fig 8 mode through an RME QuadMic as the "S". The mics were placed about 10-12ft back. The audio interface was a MOTU 828MkII into Vegas (24bit/44.1KHz) on my laptop. I didn't apply any EQ or dynamics processing (other than normalizing) and the "S" was run through the Waves S1 (to process the M-S signal, and I tweaked the width a little bit).
See what you think.
