Hi everyone,

Anyone got any advice on recording banjo live? I've got a small gig recording coming up that will be banjo, acoustic guitar, double bass and vocals. Perhaps some percussion too.

I'm guessing placement around the body meets neck area would be a starting point but I'd like some advice. The banjo might have a pickup but I'll supplement that with a SDC of some kind. Either a Beyer MC930 or Rode NT55.

This is purely for recording as I'm keeping myself seperate from any kind of PA.

Thanks!
Bradley
