All,

I have an upcoming String Quartet session where I'll be able to test both an SF24 and a AEA R88. Having had little to no exerience with ribbons I was wondering what Your's where? Especially regarding recording String Quartet.

Reading through the forum talk on Stereo Ribbons, there's loads of mentioning of the SF24 but really nothing on the R88, any special reason?

Hello,

I'm new to this board, althought I guess some members know me from the Samplitude board.

Yesterday I did a string quartet live broadcast/2 track recording for a classical radio station near here. I used a pair of AKG Blue Line Cardioid microphones in a coincident-pair arrangement. I placed the microphones about 8 feet in front of the quartet and about chest high. The recording and broadcast came off very well*.

Hallo,

next week I will track a string quartet for a pop recording. So far I'm planning to use a Schoeps ORTF System for the overall ensemble sound and some room information as well as close Micing each player individually with a Schoeps cardiotic mic.
Since I'm more used to classical recording techniques I have the following questions:

Just been commissioned to do several recording projects of a couple of the symphony's string quartets (finally...!) Although 2 pieces will be recorded remotely at a performance, the remaining 8-10 will be done in house...performers will be set up in the traditional semi-circle. sooooooooooo, my question is:

I am looking now to expand my front end chain. currently i have the M5 and 747sp into a TC M3000.

I was wondering about the Quartet 2 but the cost is pretty high although i understand why after having talked to someone about it.

that being said and i know this is subjective but has anyone used that and compared it to say a 737sp, or a stt-1, or just the Quartet?

Manley Voice Box.

I am ready to commit up to $3000-$3500 to get a channel strip/combo that will really excel in getting the big, warm, present and defined vocal recording sound.
