I was trying to decide if I should go to someone else&#8217;s studio or if my live concert recording methods would give me a compelling CD-quality result.  I don&#8217;t have the equipment for individual micing of more that 2 players. I only have four channels and I would use 2 channels for a stereo overview of the ensemble, then an individual mic for the singer, at least. Would I need to mic the three instrumentalists too? Another drawback is that I don&#8217;t have a monitoring and playback setup so the  musicians can listen either, just headphones for me.<\/p>\n<p>So I think I should find the right studio, and learn from what happens in the session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m impressed by how often Wikipedia has an article on any topic I want to know about.
