Live Music Recording Suggestion...
Hello,
I am an ethnomusicologist and I will be doing field work in the Arabian Gulf for about a year. I will be recording traditional ensembles that consist of: vocals (soloists and chorus) drums other percussion (all acoustic instruments) I hoping to usually be running a video camera (the Panasonic Gs-400) and am going to buy either the marantz 660, or m-audio microtrack I already have an i-river 320, but figure that the recording is not high enough to be used as anything but a back-up. The groups I am working with are a bit traditional and so I am looking for an unobtrusive set up as possible. The way I figure it I have 4 chanels (2 from the camera, 2 from the recorder). My current idea was to put a stereo mic for the recorder at about 5 feet up, about 15 feet back. Then a shotgun, or unidirectional mic on the camera. That way whatever I am focusing on in the video can be brought out (i.e. a particular drum part, or a vocal solist). Does this make sense? I am mostly wondering how you guys might set up your equipment. Is 4 chanels more trouble than it is worth? Will having the shotgun mic cause phase issues? Any suggestions as to mic configurations/placement? thanks for any help! |
