There is a beautiful church nearby with great acoustics (few CDs were
already recorded there) and away from any traffic noise (on the hill).
I plan to make some recording there very soon. I will be playing
violin, viola, flutes etc. accompanied by various "spherical"
instruments (tuned glass, zither, monochord, lute etc.) Basically we
will be 2 or three musicians playing together.
I would like to use a "full power" recording chain:
Two pairs of Schoeps - MK21 + MK2 going to Millennia HV-3 and then to
Lavry AD. I know that basically one has to try on the spot, but still
I would like to hear a basic advice about good mics“starting
positions. I thought to use MK21 in a kind of wide ORTF or NOS and
MK2 omnis somewhere behind, far apart (AB) , as "ambience mics". And
later I would mix both up to the taste. Is it a good idea ? Any
suggestions as per the distance and position of these mics pairs (to
get a nice inspiring sound and to avoid some phase problems etc.)

Thanks in advance for your advice

Here is the best way to do it, first have the performers play with the room
filled with people (same amount that will be at the recording session). Now,
walk around the left side of the room with your right ear covered (or plugged)
until you find the best sounding spot for that side of the room, put the left
microphone there. Do the same thing with the right side of the room but cover
your left ear and listen with your right ear.
