I thought I'd share a little job I'm doing. Female opera singer needed some tracks recording for promotion. Hungarian singer, living in the UK with her pianist in Boston USA. A track recorded on an iPad in the US that works the wrong way around.

Over the years I have recorded quite a few pipe organs in different venues, some more successful than others - but yesterday doing some prep work for a project in the summer, I came across a really knowledgeable organist - who is also an old school recordist, 78 restorer and collector of old and rare BBC broadcasts of organ music from the 1930s.

Hi All,

I'm slowly moving in the direction of being ready to record and to this end have started looking into which acoustic environments best support recording the kind of music I'd like to record, i.e. classical music in its many forms.

Hi all,

The next field recording project is recording the 44 Duos for Two Violas by Bela Bartok.

It will take place either in a massive stone, Notre Dame-style cathedral, or it's smaller chapel. Both are VERY WET, acoustically, with a reverb that lasts many seconds.

Hi, Colin here! I have a church choir of about 15 to record. I'd like to add that these guys are good. They've got it down.

Hi. I record the sermons at church. A definite upgrade I'm looking for is the microphone. The mics we currently have sound fine enough in terms of quality, but their pickup is awful. Also, they make a TON of noise when even remotely touched anywhere, even on the handle!

Our minister would like a head mic. We have wireless lavaliers, but he's a pretty active fella' and the lavalier often doesn't work real well for him. We have AT wireless gear. Would like to find a head mic that is fairly discrete (not the infomercial look), is easy on and off, and stays put without tape.

Hello,

(If this is wrong place for this question, let me know I'll correct it)
First, Hello all, this is my first post on this forum.
Second, a little explanation.

Hello,

Sorry, this is a long one. Lots of detail.

I'm joining the sound team at a 350 person church, trying to learn the drill. More info on the room, gear at end of post.
