Choosing places to record choirs

From your experience, what type of rooms produce the best sounding recordings for choirs?
Right now the city choirs love the reverby church but I think this is one older leaders influence. I would love to entice them otherwise and was wondering what others think.

I'm assuming we look at this from two POV. Choir and engineer.

Another PC Build by a Newbe to Computer Building

I started recording about six years now. I started out recording on a cheap Compact with a build in sound device on the motherboard. I have since moved up to an old gaming PC with a PreSonus Interface. The motherboard has failed on me with the gaming PC.

Note: I am not a gamer, so I will not be using this for gaming. I bought it off a friend.

Is it worth adding Great River ME-1NV to my pres?

Hi,

I run a small home studio which is mainly setup to record vocals. My current preamps are UA Solo610, Focusrite ISA One digital and PreSonus Eureka.

I been using forums for quite a few years now and everyone seems to rave about the Great River ME-1NV preamp as being something quite special!

Blending Blumlein and ORTF Choirs

I'm preparing my mix's for the choirs I just finished recording.

2 DPA 4011A in ORTF
1 Royer SF24 in Blumlein
1 Audix M1280 micro condenser for added detail

Any suggestions of how you blend blumlein and ORTF?

John, did I hear you right... choose which of the two that sounds (fullest, widest most detailed) and add the other to taste?

Some tricks for small ensemble recordings

I'm going to link some vids from a Canadian Brass Quintet session or two. These can help give a visual example of what one production team decides to do in a given situation. Realize that every engineer has their own pet tricks though most are highly flexible in changing to get the desired result.

Need a new computer, want to consider my future music needs :)

Hello,

I am a total newbie, so please be patient
I am an musician will-be, I am just starting to take singing classes and trying to learn music, own a piano and a guitar although for now only my 3 year old plays with them.

My current 4yr old HP laptop is dying and I need to buy new equipment anyway and I want to think ahead about having my studio at home

Sonar x1 Producer x64 [M-Audio] [Weird Latency/ Choppy Scratchy Sound] [Help Please]

Hello, I've recently purchased a copy of Cakewalk's Sonar x1 Producer Edition to try to enhance my skills and move up. Cubase 5 just seemed like it was holding my hand the whole way so instead of upgrading to Cubase 6 I went with this. Anyway My Audio Interface is a M-Audio Fast Track Ultra my operating system is Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium and I'm having some weird latency issues.
