I've been asked to mic up a banjo player at a gig tomorrow night. As I've never worked with a banjo before (or even seen anyone play banjo live) can anyone advise me on where to point the mic and what type of mic to use?
I was thinking of using an AKG C1000 as it would be more detailed than an SM57. Should I use the C1000 in hypercardioid or leave it in cardioid?
I think the gig will be fairly acoustic (no drums) so I don't think the monitors will be loud. Any special things I might need to look out for eq wise that could cause problems?
