Bluegrass bands live usually have a single cardoid condenser out front.o other mics. The singers step up to it, and it picks up all the instruments. Soloists just move closer during the solo.
This works outdoors, but sounds like s**t indoors. Too much room.
I need a recco. It might be a condenser with a tight pattern, low "reach" (not too sensitive) for vocals (or a dynamic that picks up low end from a foot away if there is such a thing), and a second mic down low for the instruments (excluding bass). For this you might use any cardiod condenser but roll off the low end which would get rid of more room than music. Thoughts? Simplicity is the key. ted.
