 Baroque ensemble with singer + trumpet
Hello to all You remote recording pro's,
I'd be really glad to get some advice on recordig a baroque ensemble,
specially hints for the microphone setup,
- but also everything else that could be important is welcome!
It's a small ensemble, but for me it's a lot of people at the same time (despite of choirs) :-)
and I have no experience with those ancient instruments.
The Ensemble:
lute/theorba
harpsicord
2 violins
2 viola da gamba
Soloists:
A singer (soprano) and a baroque trumpet as duo.
The room (if we get what we decided) will be about 15 x 20m and 5-6m high, with wooden floor and a glass front with a curtain, a little bright, but ok.
We have a good preamp (Millennia) and go to an 8-track machine.
How would You position the instruments, the soloists, and how set up the mics?
I thought about using a pair of Earthworks QTC1 for A-B,
and for spots I can use a couple of small condenser cardioids (km184's and an older pair of Schoeps) and also some U87's and related older Neumann's.
- Any idea would be great!!
Thanks to all!
XLR
