Chamber, Louisa Center.
A very simple concert of voice and piano featuring performers in the upcoming performance of Carmen here in the Springs. From a recording perspective there is only so much that can be done. Singers move around, balance changes, and sight lines are more important than ever. Nine times outa ten I use a stereo pair and leave those variables up to the performers. Because this venue has such a wide expansion for hanging (a stand is not an option), I initially thought about doing a 3 across the front idea with 3 Crown PCC 160s [the magic mic]. Having only one, I substituted the outer two with 414s.
Many thanks go to Bob, a veteran from Anchorage for some good pointers an ideas to make a no-so-favored situation into something rather interesting.
