Subject: recording church music From: Steve Benbows protege Date: 10 Aug 03 - 09:25 AM Hi guys I need some help. My aunt is lacking an organist and wanted to pay someone to come in to play and record it. Here is the question - what is the best way to record a church organ and how then could you put the recording on to c.d that could be used during services? Any ideas would be gratefully recieved. With regards. Pete. |

It was awful. I think it's very difficult for people to sing with recorded music like that. He eventually hired a live pianist, but she doesn't like Catholics - I didn't like her, either (but she still has the job). But if ya gotta do it, ya gotta do it. It's very difficult to set up microphones properly for recording a pipe organ, especially if the pipes are in different locations. If you must, use condenser (powered) mikes and a mixer. If you have an electronic organ, it probably has a "line out" plug that will accommodate a CD or cassette recorder directly. Good luch. -Joe Offer- |
