First off thanks for the enthusiastic responses to my last posting about how to record the Hammond B-3 Organ!!! Your collective advice will directly result in some awesome recordings very soon. Now for the other half of my problem; I will be using the Yamaha AW-4416 to record an approximately 30-Member Choir in a Baptist Church (NOT during services!) for inclusion on an original Gospel CD I am producing, and I have never recorded that many people at one time before. Mic's are (2) Shure SM-58's as well as (2) Shure Sm-57's, and (1) AKG-414. I've seen different configurations with mic placement(s) in other churches I've visited, and my first instinct would be to place both SM-58's at the sound source in stereo with the AKG in the middle with possibly SM-57's either on the sides or as overheads, then pan & EQ accordingly. I am aware that there has to be some experimentation with trial & error but I am very interested to hear from anyone who has actually done this or knows of someone who has. Any responses will be greatly appreciated!! JO-EL
