Portable stereo recording gear from small recital to orch.
Forums
I am looking to start recording concerts, recitals, audition tapes, demos, etc. It would be all classical intruments. I'm looking for some kind of gear to record just stereo (i don't wanna get too fancy with tons of mics and wires running all over the place).
A small amount of noise?
Forums
Hi, this may seem a silly question. Both what is an 'acceptable" noisefloor? Basically, I'm thinking about recording the final tracks for my CD - the vocals and acoustic guitar parts - at home on some very good gear. I treated the room with high-density fibre-glass panels, including a few that are 4 ply for the low frequency stuff.

Small Form Factor Microphone Stand
Forums
Recording concerts in churches, temples, art galleries, etc., I am seldom able to hang microphones from above the stage. Instead, I mount my main pair of microphones on a black Bogen light stand, center stage, right in front of the ensemble. It always bothers me that I’m partly obscuring the performers from the audience.

Any Succesful Small Studios? Lets hear your stories!
Forums
Hello, I wanted to know if anyone in this forum runs a successful small studio. With the availability of cheap home recording gear it seems many bands and/or groups just buy up $1000 worth of gear and record themselves rather than spend a $1000 in a studio.
Small digital recorder
Forums
I've never dealt with portable recorders so I could use some advice. All I need is 1-2 channels with built in mic preamp's and a monitor out put. It has to be able to record 1-2 hours of audio at a time. It doesn’t need to be high quality just clean. I just want to record the pasture doing his sermon at church.

Advice on Micing a small folk ensemble
Forums
I'll be engineering a live broadcast in mid-April and I've been debating about what mic setup to use this time. Not sure on the line-up yet, but I'm guessing a couple of guitars, maybe a banjo, including vocals.

cardiod mains placement for small orchestra
Forums
I no that a spaced pair of cardiod mics is not what you want for your mains but it you had to do it that way where would be the best placement for mics for a small string orchestra maybe 40 members. I would normally place my mains about 10-12 feet up, two feet in back of conductor. Mics at 35 degree angle down and out. This is very bad sounding to bright and harsh.
