Just wanted to bump this thread a little, as this gig is a few days away.
The client has very specific requests for this recording (2 dynamics close miking the bells, mixed to mono 2 track

) but has given us permission to do whatever else we want in addition to his tracks. So naturally we want to run additional mics in different locations as either a separate recording or on separate channels of a multitrack.
Anyone have any other suggestions for us to try?
