Hi from a first time poster!
I'm doing a live recording in a church in a couple weeks- I have/have borrowed some decent gear to use and although I'm a novice, I know enough to make the recording happen. I was wondering if you could help me with which mic to use where as I haven't tried them all out and usually only record one track at a time.
What I need to record:
3 vocal (1 lead, 2 bv)
1 Drum kit
1 Nord
1 Korg synth
2 electric guitar (one dubbed in later?)
1 acoustic
1 bass
1 violin
What I have:
16 mic pres/line (2 Focusrites chained. May need to use Behringer ADA8000 to extend and get 8 more inputs, should I use them for bass/keys di or drums?)
5x SM58
1x sm57
2x AKG C2000b
2x AKG C1000
1x AKG C414 XLII
1x Rode NT1
1x AKG D112
1x cheap studiospares clip on instrument mic (no go in terms of quality?)
Only other thing is, I'm recording in a place with quite a bit of ambient noise outside the building. I know this sucks but not a lot I can do about it. Any tips? Really appreciate your thoughts guys, also on general tips as I record them all at the same time. Cheers
