I would like to record some of my practice sessions on Church pipe organs so
I can criticise myself in the cold light of day (and a warmer environment
!).
What would you suggest is the minimum setup required bearing in mind I do
not normally have the ability to position a mic with anything other than a
floor stand. I propose recording to mini-disc, either directly if possible
or via a small mixer or even direct to laptop.
I assume I should be looking a 1 or 2 condensor mics but I am not sure what
pickup pattern they should be. I am not looking for broadcast quality or
price but something that will sound ok on a low-mid priced separates hi-fi.
any ideas would be useful
If you also have any ideas for recording organ and choir in large churches
and cathedrals with the minimum of equipment, that would also be useful.
