In all the years I've been recording, Decca Trees have been a mystery to me. I've been at sessions where they were used and the amount of hardware up in the air was daunting, but with a bit of effort, I've done one - in a venue with less that wonderful acoustics, and the effort was worth it!
Here is the latest video on recording choirs, and follows on from the video from earlier this week where I talked about different stereo techniques.
I've got a recording to do in a church on Saturday - it's a public event, and I'm going to record it for them. Not a church I have been to before, so I'm going to put up a heavy duty stand centre and am thinking maybe a chance to try out some more microphone experiments.
Hey all,
Hello,
this is my first post here! Thank you for a lot of useful information from some very fine engineers!
I have been asked to make concert recordings af a quite good choir (a cappela, about 24 singers) where I am one of the singers myself. I have no experience in that regard but are the 'technical guy' in the choir and do also the concert light. Now I do not worry so much about the gear necessary, also because that expense will be covered by the choir anyway.
So, I thought I'd share again...
This weekend I'm recording the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington. The group is a very large male chorus and will be doing several shows this weekend. The venue is the Lisner Auditorium in downtown DC. (http://www.lisner.org) Overall, the venue is nice, but there is a bit of AC rumble.
Starting to do some recording of live performances of small ensembles (strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion) and choir recordings.
Mainly student recitals done at on campus recital halls.
I am in need of a good set of matched stereo mics
