Hello all,

I am a member of a university choir in Sweden and also a member of the "recording group" of the choir. The recording group is going to buy new recording equipment to the choir and have finally almost made up its mind on what to buy. The only thing we are really unsure of are the mics.

Is there some formula to calculate the adjustment of delay necessary between the main pair and spot microphones, i.e. x milliseconds of delay for y distance?

I believe the other technique is to clap hands in front the spot microphone and use the wave editor to line up the spike between the mains and the spot. Is this correct?

Greetings to all on the occassion of my joining this forum!

Having used ORTF cardioids as my main pair for a couple of years, I would like to try omni microphones in a spaced A-B pair configuration. I’m hoping to get a fuller sound. The chamber ensemble I record gives concerts where the size of the ensemble varies from piece to piece – from trios on up to baroque orchestras of a dozen or so musicians – all on the same concert.

I just got a gig handed to me (not really "handed" - I'm under contract for it...) that is friggin cool. I can't really specify the artist/group's name, but I can tell you that it ISN'T the Mexican Brass...eh! ( I haven't read the details of the contract yet, so I don't know if I can state that I'm actuallyl recording them yet, otherwise, I would shout it from the rooftops.)

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.

Hey all,

I've been digging this new forum Index! Thanks for all the great info so far, and keep it up!

Was just wondering what some of the fave mics and Micing techniqus are for recording solo classical guitar.

Hi folks, any one have any sugestions on recording an Oboe, Mic placement,? I am thinking of wood floor, is that a good Idea?
Thanx in advance
Peace and good sessions to you all

Hi there.
I am tracking these two instruments, and am hopeing for some sugestions, as to mic choice and placement. Should I place them on a wooden floor?
They won't be tracked at the same time.
THanks in advance
