Hi all, newb here :D

A couple of days ago I recorded the church choir that I'm in, comprised of all high schoolers ranging from no experience to solo singing experience (anyone can join).
I'd like to know what I can do to this or what I'm supposed to do to this to make it sound better such as compression/eq/whatever else or maybe its perfect :D :D :D . Here's a link to an mp3 of one of the songs that got recorded: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=3093A6A143AADCF7

Our piano accompanist couldn't make the session so one of the singers sight read the parts, hence the slight messup in the middle section. :p :p
Recording was done with 2 Rode NT1-As (I know they're pretty hated here, but its all I got) on the choir, a neumann 183 (borrowed from my church :D :D ) on the piano, and an sE Electronics sE2200a for the soloists.
All of it was done in a church.

Thanks guys
 
What a great sounding church you have there. The percussion in this is a bit sharp. I'd try to soften it up overall and use it more for building mood without dropping it out in the middle or at least not so radically. I wouldn't touch this with eq or compression, it already sounds real pretty. Nice job.
 
Unfortunately I currently only have a stereo recorder, so I can't change the levels of the percussion, also the people who played the percussion were standing with the choir since I didn't have another mic for them.
