Hi,
I recently got this query from a compatriot looking to do a recording of
singers in a metal silo ~ this is definitely not my area! I thought I'd
see if anyone might have ideas...
Advice posted to the list I will forward back; but perhaps it's best to
reply directly to Guven at:
Thanks all!

Subject: mic ideas
Dear Aaron,
A farmer friend hosts a singing get-together in one of his steel silos.
The 70-80' ceiling and round metal sides great a cathedral effect with the
decay times of 4-5 seconds. When in tune with each other a 5th ghost voice
(overtone) is generated, as well. We want to do some recording and are
wondering about mic placement.
Do you know much about sound dynamics for mic placement, or can you point
me to a resource online or in print?
For example, place the mic at mouth level, +10' up, +20' up, at ceiling?
(does the sound rise much?)
Place the singers at center? at one side (off) center?
--Yours,
Guven
