[Living sacrifice to assuage the gods of first lines . . .]
I have spent some time doing live recording of small (4 voice), medium
(40 voice) and large (100+ voice) vocal groups with a reasonable degree
of success. Now I would like to find out how to do it better.
Can anyone point me to a good source of information (e.g. book) on how to
mike singing groups for recording and/or sound systems? I need information
on everything from selecting from among available microphones to how to
choose between flying the mikes, using booms, or using floor stands. At the
moment, I don't have any practical information and my local (community)
library is helpful but unequipped.
Responses by email, of course, and I will gladly summarize for the net if it
looks like one would be of general interest.
If you know of a good reference, please don't hesitate to send it to me --
I would rather receive duplicate answers than miss one! Thanks in advance.
P.S. If anyone known of a (community college?) course in the S.F.Bay area
that covers the subject, I'd be glad to hear about it, too.
