I do think you would like the results with the "modern Faulkner array" better-- not that your clip is deficient-- QUITE good, in fact. You Europeans seem to always have halls that sound really good!

The nanny server says I already attached it the Tony pic of him in the Albert Hall with the array in the thread Dilemma between close and distance miking. Help needed.

Hi Rich!

Thanks for the tip and the pic about the modern Faulkner array. I'll keep that in mind if at some point I can renew my recording equipment. It seems I'd need two omnis and two hyper-cards and then a long bar where to set them. And probably a new main stand because probably mine wouldn't be sturdy enough for that.

Well, there are some (not many) good venues, then they build too many multi-purpose venues with really terrible acoustics, that in the end no one is happy about. No good for dance, no good for classical music, no good for theater, etc. Talking about Spain actually. No, about what I know in Spain. But as far as Spain is concerned I'm afraid I'm not too wrong.

This venue is built in the harbour of the town and is under sea level, the main venue is 8 metres under the sea level. They had so many troubles with the sea leaking into the building you wouldn't want to know.
