Hello friends!
I need some serious help.
I am recording a live spoken word event, a podcast for a local yoga studio. The speaker gives a yoga class in a smallish room of about 12 people, and usually moves around the class room, but is willing to stand in the front.
I have a background in recording acoustic piano. I have two dynamic microphones (Sm57), and two condensor microphones (shure sm81). I have an audio interface (roland) with room for two mic cords, one mic stand, as well as a DAW (ableton) which records the files.
My question is this - what is the ideal setup? Should I let her handhold one dynamic mike around the front of the room, and set up a stand for the condensor in the back of the room? Or should I just set up two condensors in the back of the room and crank up reception at either corner of the room? Or should I do an xy of my two dynamic mics on a stand for her to speak into?
Or should I just rent a wireless mic she can wear?
Gahhh!!!!! Ive never done this before
Thank you for your help
