Those home recorded choirs, bands and orchestras
Forums
In this lockdown there's loads of material on YouTube with brass bands, choirs, orchestra etc all singing at home and then it sounds and looks so simple.
I got asked - as a freebie of course, to do one for an amateur choir - you know the thing, really nice people but the prospect of using technology at home on their own daunting.

Orchestra recording-which hanging mics here
Forums
Some of the orchestras I've seen have engineers using various types of mics hanging from the ceiling and I've been wondering which ones the tiny ones are in this video from Symphony Hall,Boston. From what I've seen they generally use maybe a half dozen hanging across at the front of the stage, what appear to be "full size" small-diaphragm, omnis maybe.

mic placement for recording an orchestra
Forums
I am planning on recording a school orchestra recital and need some help deciding on a microphone setup. I've done live sound for decades, but have done practically nothing relating to orchestral recordings. I also have a limited selection of microphones to choose from. The end result will be a stereo audio track to mix with video from multiple cameras for a concert/recital video.

Wide orchestra, narrow chorus
Forums
Hi, I have a gig coming up recording a chorus and chamber orchestra concert in a church. It's the Bach Magnificat.
The chorus will be in choir stalls on either side of the altar, thus facing each other across the altar. Some singers (probably tenors only) will be standing along the back of the altar.

Small Orchestration, new Logic Pro X sounds great Imo
Forums
Hey Ya'll,
so i made an impulsive decision to purchase Logic Pro X;
and i have to say, ***i'm truly impressed!***;
although the operating performance seems a little slow (although it could be my computer!), and of course some of the usual functions seem a slight bit glitchy, which is expected in the early days of any released software.

East West Quantum Leap Symphony Orchestra
Forums
Has anyone, or does anyone use East West Quantum Leap Symphony Orchestra Gold software? I am in need of more realistic sounds, with articulations, and this one seems to be what I am looking for within my budget? What do you think of it, why? Would you recommend something else instead, why? Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks
Andy

Orchestra hits and volume
Forums
I'm using Garageband, I have a mix that has a crescendo into a loud orchestra hit, It seems this is keeping the volume of the final product a lot lower than it should be. Any thoughts on how I can raise the overall volume and still have that orchestra hit stand out?
Thank you
