Can anyone steer me in a good direction on the following:
In a couple of weeks, I will need to record the sound of some smallish
organs. Audiophile recording is not needed; what is required is that I
capture the essential musical qualities of the instruments -- how the pipes
speak and how the stops blend. 32' pedal base is not a requirement.
Does anyone have suggestions on a servicible mike for the job?
Any reasonably good experience with an economical mike will do. I will
probably be using a home tape deck with headphone monitoring; I don't even
have a 3-head machine.
Are there any simple ways to get started with the mike placement?
One friend suggests using a pair of cardoids about one foot apart and about ten
feet from the instrument. If I start with this, are there any pitfalls I
should be aware of?
Advice will be much appreciated. For those in AT&T Holmdel, I can
be reached at ISL extension 2375.
