So one and all, read Bobby's book about mixing, but it
will be a cosmic waste of time unless you actually go
hands one with a mixing console fairly often. Good fun
for technical voyeurs, and there's nothing wrong with
that. But, its not me. For me mixing fair-sized events
is a participant sport that I play several times a
week.
The way I have it is you record only the one ensemble -
no?
If you are talking about the church thing,

Yes, 'the church thing' I suppose...

there are actually two overapping
ensembles, the traditional ensemble and the contemporary
ensemble. There is also the speech, the drama, and
production and some authoring of audio and video that is
used various ways, including accompianment.

And they want/need *everything* recorded...??

Part of the job.

(Don't they ever get fed up of the mics??)

If there were no mics and the technology behind them, many of them would
never be heard by the audience.



But don't they ever get fed up of the mics?



The band and choir festival thing which is starting
shortly, involves well over 100 ensembles per year.

Sorry, I don't understand what that means - the festival
is a year's recordings...??
