Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Thanks Bruce! I've looked at Sennheiser (seem to go from £100 to £1400 and nothing in between?) and Schoeps (I can see why they'd be your favourite, but it looks like about £1300 before you can...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Nope. :) I will monitor the audio with closed back headphones. I have a pair of AKGs that are pretty decent.



Most definitely. Thanks! And if I would prefer to buy an omnidirectional mic to...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Thanks Rick. MS pattern out of the window then, would you also consider to shoot mono as suggested by Bruce? And if so, which mic should I purchase for this event? If better quality equals better...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Totally understand your recommendations, Bruce. If I were to purchase a mic to do mono better than the SANKEN COS 11D, what would you suggest?

Going in with an extremely tiny mic leaves me a bit...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Also, as my Sennheiser 416p is a hypercardioid microphone, does that mean that the pick up would be too narrow for the choir that I'm shooting? And thus, should I buy a figure 8 mic to go along with...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

I don't believe that there is a higher fixed point, unfortunately. The Met Cathedral in Liverpool is a very spacious ad generally flat surface throughout. The only steps that I've seen lead up to the...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Thanks Dave... I think they're a very talented bunch, as I've heard the youth choir there before and they were pretty flawless... so I am guessing these will be very good, unless their conductor...

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

How can I attach three mics to one stand?



I could purchase a H6 with three mics if necessary.... what would fit the bill though, as a great sounding mic?



Makes a lot of sense......

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

I'm definitely going to email the client and ask this. At least if she knows that this is an option and turns it down, then she knows what it's going to sound like... having recorded there many times...

Thanks Richard. After reading the client's emails again (exchanged quite a few today) I can confirm that it seems the forthcoming CD release is yet to be recorded, which means that they must have an...

I've only just seen this - thanks for another response! I have asked this, and they are hoping that a rehearsal will be on Wednesday. If so, I'm there. I can get to the venue around 5:30pm at best....

Re: Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Hello Richard,

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise. By the sounds of it, this is a last minute edit to gain some usable footage to support the choir's album release.

This is a video...

Urgent Help: Advice Recording a Choir (16 Members) in a Cathedral 9 Second Echo

Hi All,

I have just been contacted to record a choir on Thursday evening. As of now, I have only ever filmed weddings, proposals and tutorials. This will be my first time recording within a...

Re: Need New Audio Solution

H1s are too bulky? Really? Most of my grooms have happily worn a Sony M10, which is a great recorder that I feel is too bulky. Eventually, I'll switch to the TASCAMs, but not for the forseeable...

Re: Beholder, 3 axis gimbal

Incredible Noa. I watched with my mouth open. I think it's a bargain!

In a year or two, we may see a truly killer version released by one of the bigger companies, but it's a fantastic gimbal from...

Re: The GH4r - V'Log & Europe's answer to the recording limit problem.

I just hope the R range continues when the 5th GH camera drops. Similarly to you, I was very excited to hear the news of the new turn for DSLRs with the release of a camera that shoots for as long as...

Re: Inexpensive glass on a nice camera?

They also seem to be able to pack the same features in a smaller package. I can imagine the lenses you have are fantastic! If I shot full frame, I'd be buying the Sigma ART series of lenses too.

Re: New edelkrone quick release system

I thought the same. I'm quite fortunate in that I purposely bought a Sachtler / Manfrotto combo, because all of their plates match up nicely. However, I don't have a gimbal yet, so this may come in...

Re: Inexpensive glass on a nice camera?

You don't really need to do the testing. Let's be honest, the main reason primes are better is for their lower f stop. On some cameras that matters a whole lot, whilst on full frame cameras it...

Re: Long Highlights Format

All of these edits and options for couples should equal more money for the editor.

I'd never consider offering a full length, a 40 minute and a highlight.

Can you really keep 40 minutes...

Re: Optimum length for a Wedding Video

Full Ceremony (multi-cam in FCPX - jump from one camera to the next)
Full Speeches (as above)
Short highlight film (usually between 7-10 minutes)

To me, you want to see the full ceremony and...

Re: wide angle lenses for dancing

A fisheye is different to a super wide angle lens.

Re: wide angle lenses for dancing

Yeah, but it's a fisheye! Would be great for Olympus to release a non-fisheye 7mm prime, such as is at the wide end of the 7-14mm Pro Zoom.

I still think the 8mm Fisheye would produce some great...
