Ben,

>>You would be very surprised at the stupid things I have seen out in the
field. Never underestimate the stupidity of some people. There are a
lot
of engineers that seem to think that clarinets sound best under the
bell....
<<

i know, we have that discussion with the grunts setting up the mics every
time.
they also want to mic just the principal in each section, or 3 of the 4
horns.

>>we are mixing 40+
microphones (80 piece orchestra) and getting a great sound both on the
recording as well as in the house. It is really tough, but that is what
we
do. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of every microphone on stage
enables us to figure out placement and how to mix. This is achieved
though
doing LOTS of gigs and learning out in the field using your ears. This
is
not something that you can learn through a book.<<

nice to know that reasonable sound is possible under those conditions.
the rare knowledge to know what orchestras and the instruments in
orchestras sound like.

sound enhancement and amplification
