Well, that's the whole part. It's the intro to a pop punk/pop rock type song that plays off the Christmas carol they are singing part of in the clip.
The setup was two pretty flat omni SDC's spaced a bit more than ear width apart and maybe 8 feet up probably equal with the first pew to sort of mimmick a listener in that location except I stuck the mics higher to get more distance from the floor since I had such a high ceiling to work with. The choir was situated on the steps leading up to the altar.
What am I asking about? Well, did you guys listen to the second clip? I am not an expert on ambience. What is that 'chirpy' sound in there and what is causing that CD player to distort so badly? Is that just the way the room sounded and I didn't realize it? Or do I simply not actually like what a chpir sounds like in a church like I thought I did? -even if that's the case, why does that player distort?
Is there anything else I did wrong? Will I be able to use this in the song or will I have to find another choir and track it again?
I am attaching a .wav file this time to rule out mp3 artifacts. I'm not sure why I had an mp3 before.... Also that clip before may have included an additional two mono takes panned to each side. This new one is just the one stereo pair with each mic panned to either side.
Thanks.
