Hello Everyone

If you have the time, could you suggest an approach to record an orchestra and a Big Band with the equipment I have?

Both groups will have a piano. Big Band will have a drum kit.

I have the budget ($2500) to buy 1 more mic if needed.

8 channels of micpres and AD.

2 - SDC omni mics of the same model - Sanken CU-100K
2 - LDC cardioid mics of the same model - Sanken CU-41
1 - SDC cardioid - Sanken CU-31
1 - LDC cardioid/omni tube mic - Brauner Valvet
1 - LDC full pattern tube mic, but it is designed for vocals and close micing- Big ER, http://www.bigmics.com/nav-page.html
1 - kick drum mic - AKG D112

I added the mic models to the description

Thanks

rob
