I'm going to record and do the PA stuff for a live performance of a 90 piece orchestra in a few days. So any suggestions on how to do it?
It's going to be rhapsody in blue so there is going to be a solo piano.
Well, the first thing, digital or analog? I got a Tascam 414 mkII, or I could borrow a laptop and use my behringer usb interface. Which one should I use? I think I'm going for analog for this one.
As for mikes, I was thinking about two semi-coincident Rode NT5 as the main stereo mics.
Then a SM57 as a reinforcement for the winds, a Behringer C2 for the brass, a SM 58 for percussion and a Nady RSM-2 or Behringer B2-Pro for the piano (in mono).
It's in a rather small theater so the PA thing will be just to add a little more definition and volume. The main porpuse is recording.
I already recorded them in a church (with crappy acoustics) before with only the Rode NT5, here is a sample of the recording so you can tell me what you think.
I don't think they are going to want any monitoring, since before I offered them to do live sound and record, they were just going to play and leave the rest to the rooms acoustics, so I'm not much worried about feedback becouse of so few mikes.
As for the recording, I was thinking a stereo submix of the orchestra plus the piano in mono. 3 tracks, so I have one in reserve just in case (if I use the tascam 414).
Apart of the stuff mentioned above I also have another Behringer B2-Pro (2 in total), another Behringer C2 (2 in total) and 3 Behringer XM8500. I also have a Art Tube Pre-Amp I plan to use on the Nady RSM-2.
