Hello audio boys and girls !
Here I am with yet another call for help. For my next gig I'll have to record dialogues as well as live music.
We have some pre recorded tracks to playback but a lot of times there will be semi-improvised performances .
Of course having mic stands in plain sight is not an option and I'm going to rely on cos11 , 4061, a couple of 4080 and two Shure SM11 (dynamic lavs) .
I also have a mkh 30 + 50 MS available and several 57s and 58s .
There wll be 2 main "non-amplified" situations
1) Sousaphone , banjo, clarinet , snare and bass drum, violin
2) accordion , clarinet , acooustic guitar
Do you have any tip on how to hide the capsules (I can't wrap my head around on how to keep the lav wire invisible on the clarinet, for instance) .
Also for the first set up I m afraid that the sousaphone might be too prominent to use just the MS array and I think that the a close miking is in order to give some balance in the mix . Suggestion and real life experiences are very very welcome !
Thank you very much
