Hello,
I was about to start a new thread, but I think this one is about what I was going to ask advice for: classical guita...trio.
I am classical guitarist myself, and David have given me advices about classical recording in the past...(thanks David!!)...Roland too, sometime he really told me how I screwed things up in a recording where I played with orchestra and recorded at the same time (never again)...(thanks too Roland).

I recorded my first naxos CD last january (me playing), and there were no close mics...as David is suggesting.
But last week I played in a recording for a film, and that is another history...because in film they want close sound...and maybe procces it later too with compresion...?

Anyway, next week I have three days recording sessions with a classical guitar trio. They will record world premier pieces by contemporary composers, with a touch of traditional influence.

I am very excited, and would like to try blumlein (first time) as main pair, with two milab dc196, and omni flanks with km183. But....I find them a little too bright (km183), and if the players have nail sound, or the first three strings are a little bit old, one can hear everything with these km183. All going into davBG2 and rme ufx.

The venue is very good, not church like with super reverb, but clear enough, big enough, and the half of it is dry (audience part), and the other live, with wood in floor and walls (stage)

Could someone please give me an advice on these combination?

my other available equipment is:
(all stereo pairs)

km184
lineaudio cm3
se 4400a

Thanks again in advance!
