Hey guys.  Been recording a while but havn't done much of this.  I was hired to record a 60 piece vocal choir and instrument ensemble.  (clarinets, flute, trumpet, cello, violin, keyboard piano, upright bass)  It will be in a hugh church and we'll have a run thru tongight Wed 12/03/03 so i'll have a practice run.  Just wondering if there might be some opinions out there on how to mic this better. Here's my plan.
 
 Solo Vox/Neumann KSM with pop filter
 Choir Bass, tenors, altos, tenors/MK-012 (4 of them spread out evenly infront and above the choir)
 Childrens Choir/2 AT small diaphram condensors
 Upright Bass/SM57
 Cello/AKG 414
 Violin AT 4050
 Trumpet/flute/ SM57
 Clarinet/SM57
 Room L Neumann TLM 103
 Room R Rode NT2
 Keys Left/DI
 Keys Right/DI
 
 All will go thru a snake to my A&H mixwizard 16 (the churches big A&H dosn't have Direct outs) Main faders for FOH sound Direct outs to Nuendo.  I can use Nuendos internal mixer for gain staging in Nuendo.  Auxes 1-6 for monitor mix.
 
 Anyone suggest better mic selection with what I have.  (thats all the condensors I have.)  What about placement of the room mics.  Keep in mind we are running FOH sound for 200-400 people. 
 Thanks so much, this is going to be fun.
 Jason

If I broke one acoustic guitar string, how many would I have left?
