Hello:
My church group will be playing at a college gym with 1000+ people in attendance. I would like to get a "good" recording of our performances but have limited equipment and an even more limited budget. I have 2 Beheringer C-2 Condensor mics, and Alesis 8 track mixer and my laptop with firewire interface box running cubase.
I know that condensers require phantom power which my mixer has, but I have no clue where to put them or how how high up they should be. There will be a sound tech running a board/PA but I don't think the drums will be mic'd and I won't have a feed from the board available.
I would really appreciate any ideas including mic placement (how far back can I go), basic mixer settings (e.g. if distance = 30 feet then adjust eq...bla bla), etc.
Thank You in advance.

The Band consists of a drums/congas (not mic'd), acoustic guitar/wind synth direct to PA (PC based fx/synth), bass (amp'd + xlr out to pa), keyboard (amp'd + xlr to pa), electric guitar (amp'd + xlr out to pa), violen (xlr to pa) and 8 singers.
The venue is going to hire sound people for the house mix so I'm not sure what equipment they will be using. We will be on the right-most side of the gym facing the bleachers with the main stage next to us. In the past they placed 2 PA speakers on either side of the main stage.
How about some detail about your band and the PA setup? All we
How about some detail about your band and the PA setup? All we know is that you have a couple of drums.
