Malexos Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 I'm planning a concert at my high school to raise money for a charity. The ensemble features 2 electric guitars, 1 drummer, and a string dectet (4 violins, 2 Violas, 3 Celli, 1 Bass). Last week was our first practice, and I think we sounded really well. The problem is how we'll sound when we start practicing in the actual auditorium. We haven't actually practiced in the auditorium yet, but I'm guessing the instruments will sound much weaker there. I don't know the exact size of the auditorium, but our Senior class is about 500 students, and the auditorium can seat all of us with a few chairs to spare. Can any of you recommend a good way of amplifying our sound? I've considered just sticking microphones in front of us but I'm not sure if that would work quite the way I'd want it to... :unsure: If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it! EDIT: Also, sorry if this is in the wrong forum...I didn't really see one that fit... Quote
SYS65 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 If the auditorium has good acoustics, it should sound well, if it is nothing but a square room with chairs, it may not work, using amplifications of strings is a good idea but very difficult to acomplish correctly. The easier thing would be to play like that and don't let the guitar playars display a super loud distor :D What stuff do you have to ampli the strings, Microphones, Mixers, Speakers ? Quote
