Ok, this will be my first and it needs to work... well. I have a pair of 414s that I'm going to record the choir with but it will be at two venues and two different PA setups.This coming thursday I have a chance to test my setup and I'll be honest I'm not sure what it's going to be.
I'll be recording soloists, the accomp and the 414s into Protools through my 002r and that aspect should be fine. The system is stable and I'm all set in PT. (Fingers Crossed)
My Question is this: Where the hell do I put the mics? Two mics, I assume on booms? Should I try to hang them over the choir on giant booms? On the floor in front of them? How close? Do I try a spaced pair? ORTF? The choir will need montiors and my thought is to setup the monitors somewhat close to the mics so that they can play facing towards the singers and away from the mics. I'm going to try and keep the monitors as quiet as possible but they need to hear it. I have access to a light pole infront of and above the singers at one venue horizontal to the ceiling.. should I try to fly the mics off of that?
HELP!!!!!
Thx
Robert
