Re: [ARSCLIST] Stereo records.
I have the pleasure now an dthen of recording orchestras, string
quartets, and harps (student demos) without PA and entirely acoustic
with a single stereo pair. It is always among the most glorious
experiences in my career. And I am often the PA guy, and it is a
challenge to do it properly. But I'd rather mic the drums and bass and
evverything so one obnoxious gutar doesn't get to dominate...
And I still have some copies of my high school choir doing their final
concert - Vince Guaraldi's Jazz Mass - that made it to Lp unsquashed..
2 omni mics!
