HEY HEY HEY

I was recently approached by a church choir that would like to record a few songs on location. I have essentially three room choices: The first being a massive octagon shaped room with incredibly high ceilings (carpeted floors). The second is a smaller room with about a 20 ft. ceiling (carpeted floors).

I'm wondering what microphones and Micing technique would be best for a harp. If anyone has experience in harp recordings I'd like to know how they did it.

Also Micing a harp for live sound.

Hi guys,
I'm going to track a small quartet strings section for a pop song.
How should I mic them up? what mic? how many? And also should it be track all together or separate (violins, viola, and cello)?
How about some suggestions for a bigger section say 4 1st violins, 3 2nd violins, 3 violas, 2 cellos.

Anyone got any ideas on a minimal drum mic setup.
I'll be using a pair of C414's or TLM 103's as the overheads anyway, but only have a D114 kick mic and a pair of Shure dynamics left.

Not so minimal really, I suppose. Standard kit: two toms and a floor tom.

Greetings! I've spent a couple years working with drum kits, but I have a small hand drum made from a gourd that I'd like to include in a couple segues on my band's CD. I can make some guesses, but I figured I'd see if you guys had any advice. My available mics at this point are a pair of C1000s and SM58s and 57s...

I have been expirimenting with saare track recording, so far I have used a

AKG C-414 about 1" from the top side polar pattern facing at a 45 deg angle 20db pad, very thin sound and pingy ( this snare is not a very fat sounding snare in the first place ) we try'd different positions but not much help ?
