Audio! Audio! How will your group do it?I am interested in hearing from others on how they will go after audio. How many wireless? Mic the orchestra? Sound effects? Monitors onstage. A lot to think about. Community theater CAN do it right.

12 Wireless (originates with 12 people, about half will stay with one person and other half will switch characters), at least 10-15 different mics hanging down from the stage, as well as four frontal mics. Orchestra is mic'D, sound effects used (car horns, glass breaking, lightning, etc)

We had 25 wireless mics that I used along with the pa system, and I had a stereo pair for the orchestra. In my other postings I had a few clips which used this for the audio.
However my stereo pair was for recording purposes. The pa system had all instruments miked, and I did not use those for the recording of the orchestra.
Take Care,
Gene

I agree with everything said. I was just sending out a feeler to see how other smaller troops will try to conquer the audio end. In Febuary I had the pleasure to design the system used by The Drama Group in Chicago Heights Illinois. We used new costumes so I had them put pockets in. I used 32 wireless onstage uhf & vhf. (alota rf floatin around). Pit singers and orchestra added 19 more hard wired. The last touring troop that came through Chicago used a automated Midas desk maybe. I didn't see the name. Automation would have been nice to have. The first 15 minutes of the show are a bear. Maybe a tiger I should say. I used multple desks . Two for vocals and effects(reverb returns and sound effects). A third for the orchestra The orchestra used mics and direct boxes. I had a week to set it all up and I used every minute of it to do it. We got great results. Wireless mic were not steping on each other. If the performers would have left things alone and not muted a mic it would have been perfect. But hey we're not at the Shubert here. Recordings were spectacular. God I love Protools. I anyone needs ideas just ask away! Keep the audience crying and happy Jim
