Ah, at last, a mention of the venue. Reading Iain's talk about big-band
recording it was all about microphones - what about the acoustic
environment
in which the music is played?

You pick your recording method according to the acoustic of the
auditorium. These days there is almost always PA, which must
also be taken into account.

Ah, so we are back to microphones again :-(
