Great propaganda run fellas! You make Putin proud I'm sure

You convinced me!

How do you prefer audio engineers to capture the sound of your orchestra?

As far as close-miking versus area miking?

In my opinion, the conductor is doing all the "mixing" themselves and it's the engineers job to capture that overall sound rather than capturing individual pieces and putting them back together in the recording - if that makes sense.

Ive worked with several sound guys and several conductors that prefer either/or.

Thanks for your response!

Makes complete sense to me! Thanks for verifying my methods somewhat!

Oh also, another question I just thought of.

I work in an opera hall that has retractable acoustic curtains to adjust the amount of reverberation. Do conductors typically like more reverb or less? I'm sure it's more of a subjective taste kind of thing but I'm curious about your perspective.
