Hello.
I need guidance to record my pupils rock ensemble correctly.
Did you ever hear 'The Langley School Music Project'?:
http://www.keyofz.com/keyofz/langley/
We want to do a recording in the same spirit (a nice, listenable lofi recording of kids banging out rock songs).
Just so you get the picture; we play songs like Baba o' Riley (the Who), Wake up (Arcade Fire), 99 red balloons by BLondie etc. softer songs too.
We are:
2 percussions
Drums with mutes
A small girl choir (8 of them)
3 xylophones
electric guitar
3 keyboards/ electronics/ vsts
bass
We play sort in a circle with me in the center (bandleader)
This is my recording gear:
two condensators Studio Project C3
several vocal mikes (5 ou 6)
a PA (to amplify the choir), an 8 track mixer
Panels fore isolation
Heres what I wanted to do. Do a blumlein stereo thing over my head (is that terribly delicate and tough to realize? I have no experience). Make the singers share vocal mikes and submix them in the mixer to the PA.
How would you set up?
ANY piece of advice would be very welcome.
This could be a VERY special and unique recording. I don't want to spoil it by recording like a space cadet.
thanks
