Hello!

I have a gig coming up recording a Grand Piano, Clarinet, Violin, Cello and Soprano playing a 12 minute classical piece on location in a small hall. I don't have a lot of experience recording classical music, and am wondering how best to approach the recording.

The stage is 4 meters deep, and about 12 meters wide.

Hey guys, this is a long shot, but I thought I'd try. I'm looking to buy one mic for a home studio. I'd like to stay under $1000k, or worse-case scenario not much over it. I've read through forums and listened to many shoot-outs. My main concern is I want something that really works well with my voice.

We are about to do Les Mis School's Edition and I have the lovely job of doing the sound.
However, looking for some advice.

First off, I'm very grateful to have found recording.org. I'm not going to blast any other forums, I'm just glad I found this one. Though I've performed a lot on stage as a spoken word artist with whatever mics they had (sm58s common?), I'm fairly new to recording and definitely a n00b as an engineer. So..the question at hand..

Here is my current/imminent setup:

Please bear with me here; I'm a composer with decent composing chops but still very much a student of recording and mixing. My problem is that I'm getting noise on the recordings that I make of my compositions, which are all recorded with virtual instruments. This has been a problem only recently; I'll explain why later on.

Hey everyone,
Looking for 4-8 clean professional quality preamps to compliment my everyday Daking Mic Pre's.
I'm thinking along the lines of the new A-Design 500 series, but I don't want to have to buy a lunch box to use them?
$750 per channel budget
Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hey all. Im pretty new to the forum, but am amazed at everyones knowledge and am learning a lot in short time. My question is about a mic and audio interface. Tax time is coming around and I'm just not sure that what I use to record is up to par, or if it will be worth it to buy new gear.

hi

I got an onboard sound card.
how can I tell which one is it and if it's good enough for a home studio ?

would also like to put it in my profile

Folks,

I am fairly new (about a year) with ribbon mics. But all of us at our studio loves to use them. we have a Royer R-121 and a pair of cascade fat heads. we find that they seem to work great on just about anything you use them on, but since we dont want to use the same mic for everything we constantly switch it up.
