Convolution is also the keyword, especially if the hall is great !

You can do so many tricks, it gets scary. Manipulating the early reflections can be a very powerful tool indeed !

We try to get the solo in the middle of the orchestra, to avoid imaging problems.
A great position for a voice can be right in front of the winds.

Anyway, if the are slightly off center, no problem, because most of the time the spot is SO loud ...

We use stereo (blumlein) spots, narrowed down, but this gives us the possibility to shift the voice slightly. Of course, the M signal goes to the C speaker.
We add convolution reverb to the LR and LsRs speakers, the spot gets treated separately (more predelays).
