Not being "instrusive" is really tough in these cases. By the time the sound makes its way out to mics in the hall, it's really mushy and swarmy. |
Joel, thanks for the advice. But like I said I am in a tight/no budget situation
The thing is that I won't have much time to try different setups although I plan to try both ORTF and a 3-mic setup. What I'd like to know in advance is wether it is worth spending time trying the pseudo Decca tree I talked about in my previous post, 2 414s in omni and a gefell m930 (cardioid) as the center mic.
Any advice still much appreciated thumbsup
