i'm recording a makeshift small choir for my band & i'm faced with the current situation:
we tried recording simply our singer doing each note of the necessary chords in the vocal booth & layering them all together with some reverb [with pretty good results i must say]

Hello,

this is my first post here! Thank you for a lot of useful information from some very fine engineers!

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.

I have been asked to make concert recordings af a quite good choir (a cappela, about 24 singers) where I am one of the singers myself. I have no experience in that regard but are the 'technical guy' in the choir and do also the concert light. Now I do not worry so much about the gear necessary, also because that expense will be covered by the choir anyway.

So, I thought I'd share again...

This weekend I'm recording the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington. The group is a very large male chorus and will be doing several shows this weekend. The venue is the Lisner Auditorium in downtown DC. (http://www.lisner.org) Overall, the venue is nice, but there is a bit of AC rumble.

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

Hi,

I was asked by a friend to record his church choir. The choir size is 20 people and will be recorded at the church. I was leaning to the SM81's in an XY or ORTF configuration, along with one of my large condensor mics with the ISA428.

What would be the best mic choice and configuration out of the mics I have?

So I am helping some people at a local church to record their band/choir. I wish I had more experience to offer, but instead I'm just running off instinct.

Starting to do some recording of live performances of small ensembles (strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion) and choir recordings.
Mainly student recitals done at on campus recital halls.

I am in need of a good set of matched stereo mics
