RE: Channel Classics Recording Session Mics

Twelve actually. Did you like the sound of the Apasionado recording? It really is quite stunning.

Five omnidirectional DPA 4006's were used as an ITU spaced array ala Bishop, and two for stereo. The remaining that you see within the orchestra are there for upstage instrument definition, and are incorporated in the mix at very low levels. There is also some microphone redundancy due to the fact that both a stereo and surround recording were simultaneously being made.

The entire mix was done in an analog desk prior to DSD A/D conversion. Very little post production, other than editing was performed on the resulting analog mix.

Should the 58,000 Euro cost of the van to transport the kit to Spain be sited? All this stuff is frightfully expensive.
