I am recording a band in an awesome space soon and have some questions about it.
The space is an old chapel with a high vaulted ceiling and carpeted floors apart from the stage which isn't far off the ground. (see pic - the chairs can be moved)
The band has - singer who plays piano, drummer, bass, organ
Now I will most likely have the drums, bass and organ (Nord Stage) on the carpet facing the stage to try and get a good band vibe.
Now the questions.
1. I know there will be some leakage (I want leakage but good leakage), especially from the vocalist at the piano, what is the best way to ensure that they are in phase (the piano mics and vocal mic). I realize the vocal volume in the piano mics will be low but I want a rich a sound as possible.
This will happen for the bass, drums and organ too. But on a lesser level.
2. I will be going DI with the organ, should I pipe a bit of the organ sound into the room (for performance vibe) so it can be picked up lightly by other mics? (in this case I will use a DI box)
Thanks
