CHAMBER CHOIR AND GRAND PIANO
I went to a church in Roermond to make a recording of the final rehearsal of a Chamber Choir, accompanied by a Grand Piano.
Preperation:
I made a checklist from what to bring:
- Audio Interface
- 4 Mics
- 4 Mike-stands
- Mike cables
- Power extensioncord
- LAP-top
- Headphone
After setting up the Mics (2 in front of the Choir, and 2 inside the grand piano) we did a sound check. Unfortunately the choir sound was capturing to much the individual voices. I decided to turn the 2 choir mics 180 degrees and pointed them to the back of the church. This was actually a good decision because the sound improved enormously. Disadvantage is the acoustics of the church already brings along a great amount of reverb. This impacts the transparency of the sound and makes the lyrics more unclear.
Obviously this needs a lot of editing where I am working on now.
I will keep you updated on the result.
