Contracted to record and produce a run of CDs for the\u00a0Star Chorale Choir and Orchestra<\/a>. Concert recorded\u00a0in the James\u00a0Tatoulis Auditorium at the Methodist Ladies’ College with assistance from James Howard. A week before the concert I headed along to a rehearsal to meet and hear the choir, check the acoustics of the auditorium and plan the recording setup.<\/p>\n

We used 4 DPA 4023 compact mics & 4 Neumann U89s for this recording. The main ORTF pair behind and above the conductor and a second ORTF pair in front of the choir. We used two DPA 4060s as outriggers for the choir and setup 4 Neumann U89s \\to cover the orchestra and soloists. The microphones were run into the Nagra VI recorder alongside a 4 channel GML preamp and interface combo in a room on stage left. The Choir and Orchestra gave a fantastic performance to a full house.<\/p>\n

The concert was directed by\u00a0Jane Elton Brown<\/a>\u00a0and the featured soloists were\u00a0Jane O’Toole<\/a>,\u00a0Kerrie Bolton<\/a>,\u00a0Roy Best<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Gary Rowley<\/a>.<\/p>\n
