Jeremy1982 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Hi. I am new to the minidisc forums group, but a long time fan of MDs. I purchased my first MD back in 2001 in Austria when I was on a study abroad program. Currently I own the Sony MZ-NH1 and I use it to record my church choir during rehearsals, services, and performances. I also just bought the Sony ECM-MS907 mic. What settings would be the best to use for a live recording of a choir approximately 12 ft. away for a choir of 25 in a high ceiling church? -Jeremy Edited February 5, 2007 by Jeremy1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Unamplified? Mic-Mic-in-perhaps 20/30 (but look at the level meter and adjust, with Manual Level). With 25 people you probably need the wider angle, 120 degrees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ghidora Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 With high ceilings like that you should probably check for echoes in the location you pick to record. Position can make a big difference in a room like that. The MS907 isn't bad about picking up echo though. It does a good job of rejecting any noise outside of it's pickup range. I agree with A440 that the 120 degree setting is probably the best being that close to 25 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
