ard a
change in mic cables without my prompting) It's VERY hard to
capture an orchestra with 2 mics live to 2 track. If you know how
to do it though, the results are nearly perfect. Be aware, only
one "recording engineer" in 50 or so can hear as well as a great
conductor, so a lot of guys make fools of themselves trying to BS
the client. When it is wrong, they hear it in 3 seconds, and no
amount of techno-gibberish will save you, and when it is gloriously
right, you have a friend for life.
As for Nuendo, my experience is limited to demos and trade shows
where it sounded so bad I walked away on more than 5 different
occasions. And yes you can hear at trade shows. Funny how Sonic,
Paris, and Sequoia all sounded great at trade shows.
My classical colleagues have pretty much returned the same
verdict. I don't know anyone who seriously uses Nuendo. A lot
of people are using PT's now, but many are using Sequoia, and I am
headed that way in the next few years.
Great sound on orchestras is easy in Paris, you just have to know
how to use it. I also did a live project recently where I dragged out
the Paris rig and recorded live to 24-track and it sounds fabulous.
I did the drums with 4 mics, one on the snare, one in the kick, and
stereo overheads. So far, I am mixing it clean, and it sounds just
sweet and pristine. No fake "warmth" no analog fuzziness, no
middines, just great sound. I'll send you one when we are done if
you like.
