Our church choir normally performs using CD music tracks. What is the best way to record them live without too much bleed from the CD tracks in monitor speakers? (These recordings would be used for archival purposes or shut-ins, not for resale purposes.) Some added info:

Hi all.

I'm new to this board and new to the recording thing, and have a question or two.

First of all, let me apologise for any semblance to other postings on this site. I guess what I'm looking for are solutions specific to my situation, and the hardware that I'm considering.

Hello,

Sorry if this has been asked before.

I am the sound tech for a charity choir, and yes you've guessed it, we want to record stuff and not spend any money.

Hi all,

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.

I am recording a concert in September of Bach cantatas in a large, reverberant church made of stone. I have about 1 hour to 90 minutes to set up at most, so my rig has to be fairly simple.

Hi all

I'm starting to get some practise on on-location recording,
but I feel a bit intimidated by my next project.

I'm asked to record a choir (55 people) in a large church

I want to record a choir for a song I've put together. It's the choir is in the background in some of it. How to I record them? I can't have the song playing through speakers because of the bleed, and I can't afford to have headphones for every choirmember. Please give me some advice, I'd really appreciate it.

I will be recording a grade-school choir next week, and am limited to only four mic preamps, as I will be recording through a 002 using my laptop. I plan on using a Royer SF-12 for the choir. I have a few questions:
Does the 002 have enough gain to accomodate the SF-12?

Ive have recorded a 35 voice choir with two spaced condensers with reasonable success (about 8 feet apart and about 10 feet back [due to space limitations I cant observe the 3to1 rule on the stage]) although I needed to add synthetic reverbs . Im recording them again this weekend and The actual church reverb is beautiful so my question to you is.
