I’ve tried doing some recordings of the choir at pre/post-service music at church in the past, but without the proper equipment, it never comes out quite right. DaveK stepped in and offered the use of his brand new MAudio MicroTrack II and two microphones. We wired up the church for audio before the Christmas services, set up a video camera in the balcony, and gave it a shot. We had some technical difficulties along the way, but we did end up with some decent recordings. There are ideas of how to improve this in the future, but you can get a peak at some of the music presentations at church over Christmas. (Plus you can get a sneak peak at me rocking a bow tie.) For all the videos from church, check out http://www.youtube.com/calvarylutheranwa. If you view these videos on YouTube, you can see them in HD.
