Greetings from another freshly-minted, optimistic, but dangerously uneducated noob showing my face for the first time after a lot of reading through this forum for the past few days. Thanks in advance for your patience with yet another new guy trying to learn how to swim.

I have to record my next classical solo piano recital (Mozart, Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff) in a small-medium sized church, in which reverb could be a problem.
The piano will be a steinway concert grand and I have at my disposal 2 Neumann km 183 (omni) matched, 2 schoeps cmc5 mk4 (not matched) and 2 schoeps cmc5 mk 21 (not matched).

Our church choir is going to Great Britain next year on a performance tour. We will be singing in four or five well known English and Scottish cathedrals. I have been tasked with documenting the trip. I'm all set with photographic and video equipment, but I am a newbie in regards to audio recording.

Hi all - been pointed in this direction from another forum - good to meet you!

Hi all,

I am looking at setting the sound system for a church. The size of the hall is not big, probably looking at an area (rectangular) of around 450 and can accomodate more than 300 but on average 100-150 people.

Church will have their own choir/band (singers, guitar, keyboard etc).

Okay, here is what we have now and what we currently do.

We presently record our services with both a tape cassette recorder for cassettes and a CD-RW recorder for CD's. The problem is that we have to have a storage are for all these master CD's and tapes.

Hi all

Next week I'll be recording a male amateur choir (48 guys) in my local church.
There''ll be no audience and we can probably track it a couple of times.
Mostly a mix between somewhat popular and religious songs

The choir will be on the altar of a (about) 800 seats church
standing in a semicircle / upside down U

I am a pastor in a small church who needs help. I have a 12 channel peavey mixer (RQ2314) recording our services live on an ALESIS 9600 with a 40 Meg HD. I also use a sonic maximizer a Tascam CDA500 for CD play prior to service and use the Tape function for duplicating my CD to Tape. Here is my problem:
