Hi all,
I want your opinions about a specific recording session .
I'm recording a new album for a very well known old-school pop singer, and we are going to record strings on Monday, there are 10 philharmonic strings players :
2x 1st Violin
2x 2nd Violin
2x Violas
2x Cellos
The studio is a wooden floor and wooden ceiling, the dimensions are 3x6 meters (but only 3x4 meters is a recording space) and 5 meters(!) hight (with a nice angel), i have another small (2x3) room,but i'm think i'll record all the players at the same room for that bleed ...
I need your opinions about Micing this sessions, i thought about an xy Micing configuration about one meter from the first line of players and 2.5 meter hight,
I have good mikes choices but i only have a pair of c451's (i also have a Lawson47, a 414btl-2, Neumann 103,ck1 and lots of dynamic mikes available).
Thank you !

I'll try to do ms mode with the lawson l47 and the 414 , but do you guys think i should do this recording using more mikes ? i mean after all it's for a pop album although the strings doesn't have to cut through ... and i prefer the acoustic bleed on some few more channels on the desk 8)
