RCCNY at MAPC

Recording the Russian Chamber Chorus of New York at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church.

Here's the first thing: in order for the Sound Devices 702 to record simultaniously to the internal CF card and to an external hard drive, the 702 must be externally powered.
Additionally, doing so will generate a LOT of heat.
The location of the mics -- dead center front row of the balcony.
I was surprised that the balcony had audience in it. I hadn't really prepared for that. But I told them we were recording.

It's a very nice church and very comfortable but the pews are creaky. So recording here is nice but it's also kind of like recording on a sailing ship.
