Choral/Operatic Concert

[juan162]

Hi Everyone,

A friend of mine is doing a Choral Concert with Operatic Soloists and nobody was going to record it, so I volunteered. I figured it would be a good learning experience and if I don't do the greatest job, no harm done since nobody was going to recording it in the first place. Up until now I did everything with your basic stereo pair, since I only had 2 direct ins. I recently purchased an Alesis io14 and can now run 4 separate tracks. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for mic'ing. There will be a 30 person choir, with various soloists singing in the center and in front of the choir. Accompaniment is a piano. Here are the mics I have:

3 Oktava 012 Cardiods
1 MK 319 mod'ed
1 Bluebird
1 AKG 451EB

I was thinking of using a stereo pair of 012's as the mains, 1 mic for the piano (don't know which), and one as either a solo mic or a room mic. We will be in a small church, which may or may not have good acoustics,
