Hi,
I am newish to this kind of recording. I am recording a recital in a circular, hard surfaced room, 17 meters in diameter, with a domed cieling.
The recital will consist of a several small ensembles, largely vocal, some stringed (and maybe other) instruments.
I have an AKG C414 XLS, I would like two more microphones in order to capture more detail. I'll likely have access to another two XLSs or two Neumann TLM 103s. Which would be better to go with? (There will be a variety of vocalists throughout the night and possibly in combination).
I am also not too sure of the best set up. I figured I would use the single XLS on omni as a room mic (but not yet sure of location as I'm unsure where the musicians will be). And the pair of microphones positioned up closer to capture various parts of the ensembles in greater detail.
