Can anyone give me advice on microphones? Specifically, I would like to record my singing group, an unaccompanied double quartet specializing in music of the Renaissance. The recordings are to be used as a rehearsal tool, and I need to evaluate the blend and balance of the group as well as distinguish the individual voices. I would also like to record performances, and for that purpose it would be nice if long cable runs were possible. I will do the recording on an as yet unpurchased cassette deck, so if the choice of deck is significant, advice on that would be gratefully received as well. I will listen to the recordings carefully through a fairly good stereo system (Dynaco + AR3A), so I care about quality. I also care about the price -- I would like to spend less than $350 for the microphones and the deck together, but if audibly better quality is available for somewhat more $$, I'd like to know about that too. -- Jon Shopiro Bell Labs WB 1G-306 Holmdel, NJ 07733 (201)870-7005 P.S.
