Mic selection for a small musical
Post Body

Hi Livesound,

I am getting my first ever musical as a designer up and running this week so I know i am going to have some questions but currently I wanted to ask y'all opinion on the instrument mic choices I have made.

The show is Smokey Joe's Cafe and if you have never heard the music think 50/60's rock and pop.

I have 2 keyboards which will be Radial J48 Active DI's

My drum kit will be

2 SE4's as overhead (http://www.seelectronics.com/se4-mic)

A AKG ATM24 or beta 52, but i am leaning towards the AKG as kick drum

Snare - Beta 56

Precussion Toys (seperate person playing)

Toys OH - SE4

Toys close - c414 (unsure what all is being played, using a mic i know)

Bass guitar (micing the amp) - ATM25 or PR30

Electric Guitar (again micing the amp) - Heil PR30

Acoustic Guitar - AKG c414B (http://www.akg.com/C414 XLS-1039.html?pid=1024)

I posted links to some of the mics because I am not sure how common most of them are outside an educational environment. I also have some SM81's and Heil Pr20's and some passive and i think more active di's any help / opinions that y'all have would be appreciated. Also if anyone happens to be in St. Louis the first 2 weeks in December and wants to see a show I would love your opinion, I might be able to arrange tickets.

Thanks so much

I just ran Footloose last week at a local High School, the biggest issue I had was micing the Bass, personally If the amp has a direct out just go with that. I also wouldn't mic the acoustic if it has its own pickup. You don't want a lot of things bleeding into other mics.
