2 X AT4050 in Card. ORTF @ 3m away, center
2 x Earthwork TC40 @ 10m away, outter edge of the cathedral
the cathedral is quite big, and a 17 piece choir is not that big... So my pZM and the AT should get me enough direct signal not to loose the choir is this gigantic space, my room mics my should pick up plenty of ambience, nothing better than the natural reverb time of a space!
I'm recording to a digi02 for the first 4 mics and an mbox2 for the room mics, 2 laptops, I'll clap before every recording for sync'ingn all the direct and room mics together later.
What do you guys think? Any suggestion on the miking technique? |
I'd put the ORTF and the room mics on the 4 tracks into the mbox 2 and leave the PZMs separate, because i doubt if you'll need them. When you hear the choir in the room, tweak the ORTF distance to taste. That plus the room mics should do it. If you're losing the center, don't angle them out so far.
