hello,
i'm trying to do a rough demo recording of my girlfriend singing with a pianist for some auditions.
i realize these challenges have been dealt with in abstract in great detail and in practice in various forms in this forum, but i figured i'd post my gear and see what you guys would recommend me doing with it. i'm not sure of some of what i'm working with--i'll post updates after i take a look at the place.
the instruments:
soprano with an interesting dark mezzo-like coloration
a 9' (?) grand piano
the room:
about 50' by 30' (i'm guessing)
hard walls but curtains can be closed on three of the four walls
the piano is centered on the long wall about four-six feet away
my so-called gear:
an ev pl77b
a shure sm57
a sennheiser e865
mic stands & cables
i'm currently either running into a dilapidated tascam 424 cassette four-track, but i could use it as a mixer through my laptop's line in and track stereo to adobe audition. i'm looking into getting a laptop-friendly pre/phantom/a/d/input device (this is of course discussion for another forum...)
any recommendations on mic choice & placement given these conditions?
thanks!
