Anyone found a miracle tool for pitch shifting a capella choirs recorded in rich acoustics? We have tried the Eventide Orville and the Prosoniq MPEX3 for Pyramix, but they all make heavy artefacts on harmonically complex material.

I want to record a choir for a song I've put together. It's the choir is in the background in some of it. How to I record them? I can't have the song playing through speakers because of the bleed, and I can't afford to have headphones for every choirmember. Please give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

Well, we're at the point where we're about to take advance orders of the CD. I've done pretty much all the mixing and mastering I can do with my current setup and level of experience, and I have to say, the finished product is pretty awesome, at least to these unpracticed ears (and also to everyone else who's heard it so far).

Hi all,

I will be recording a grade-school choir next week, and am limited to only four mic preamps, as I will be recording through a 002 using my laptop. I plan on using a Royer SF-12 for the choir. I have a few questions:
Does the 002 have enough gain to accomodate the SF-12?

Ive have recorded a 35 voice choir with two spaced condensers with reasonable success (about 8 feet apart and about 10 feet back [due to space limitations I cant observe the 3to1 rule on the stage]) although I needed to add synthetic reverbs . Im recording them again this weekend and The actual church reverb is beautiful so my question to you is.

Hi - I'm a newbie here, this is my first post in this forum, and I hope I'm in the right place. I'll apologize in advance, as I am also very new to recording in general, and its technology and terminology as well, so I hope answers can be kept very basic. When I describe my setup, you'll probably understand a bit more where I'm coming from.

I remember reading that the venerable Danish Radio records choirs from an unusually large distance, and the results are wonderful. I'm sort of curious about this.

Anyone know if this is the case, or have any more details about their setup?

Thanks
John

Joe H- I read your essay on 2 mic VS multimic recording and enjoyed it. A good explanation of how when when we have no visual and enviornmental cues to help us, the audio balances must be much more exact to provide a good musical experience.

what do i need?

i have a MD recorder which has 2 XLR outputs and a pair of AKG C1000s
