Sunday afternoon I recorded a gorgeous sounding violin and harpsichord concert and took a few mediocre photos. I thought some here might be interested in our recording chain which is very compact these days.
Out of focus shot of my microphones and the church venue to give you an idea of mic placement (the second mic tree is from the violinist who records her own work for critique):
AKG E200 microphones, with long run of Kimber KCAG for mic cable into 722 box, we use directional mics since the hall was slightly reverberant:
Sound Devices 722 which is a recording studio in a box (mic pre, A/D, and hard drive-based data storage). We record at 24/176 which is hirez PCM which adds in some fine detail. We use Grado headphones for monitoring the performance and overall balance of the recording.
Olga and Daniel tuning up for the performance:
Olga playing. She is one of the better violinists for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The tone was just sweet and beautiful:
Once we get the data on the 722, we load into a computer for sound editing. We just lightly make edits as we are trying to just capture the performance "as is". We create both CD and DVD-Audio discs for playback.
