Recording Loud Gospel Choir
I need advice on recording a 12 piece gospel soul choir. They sing very loud and with a lot of dynamics. I've been setting up 3 u87s in cardioid pattern about 8' apart. I put 4 Tenors on mic 1, 4 Sops on mic2 and altos on mic 3. Itend to get a lot of distortion, especially during the loud sections(These groups really have chops). I've tried compression as well as manually riding volumes. The results are distorted, thin and very uneven. I've tried API,Avalon 737, Prosonus M80 and Mackie pre amps. My compressor is a Manley vaari mu and a ACP-22) Any suggestions would be good.
Thanks
JE
