I will be doing a live recording for a church which has an existing house PA system with one single speaker mount in the center. They have a choir, male and female soloists, piano, and an organ. Everything except the organ will be picked up by the house PA system and present from that single speaker to the audiences.
I will get all the signals from the house mixer and record in the 8 tracks recorder and I am thinking of putting a pair of condenser mic in ORTF setup to capture the overall sound of the church. So that I can blent it with the rest of the sound later. I can only setup the mic in the balcony which is about 50 feet away from the choir.
Since this is the first time I will be recording in a live environment, I have the following questions:
1. Am I doing the right thing? i.e. Is this a good setup for recording in a live environment such as church with existing house PA system?
2. Will a pair of large diaphragm mic, such as a pair of Marshall MXL2001 or a pair Rode NT1 used in home recording studio works in this case?
3. If not, should I get a pair of smaller diaphragm mic such as AKG C1000S? or anyother good suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
