I like the idea of the piano lid opening towards the choir
If there is a 'bright' aspect to the Neumann SKM140s it could lift the 'darker' sound of the male voice choir i am recording.
Michael do you have any samples of the R88 on choirs in Blumlein? I would love to hear them.
I will be using a Crane Song Spider for all the mics.
Does anyone know how or who records the choral group 'Chanticleer'? I love their sound. |
Best results will be obtained by using the outriggers at the same height. The Neumann's will sound veiled and unbalanced when used with the DPA's on the choir. I also use the Spider for my recordings and there are some examples of what I'm talking about on my website. As with all things, let your ears be your guide! Take time to try different placements and mic combos if you can. Trying to emulate others' work is a good starting place, but just think where we'd be if everyone did it the same. Boring.
Who knows, after you post this recording I might be asking you what you did!
