Hi all: I have a song that required Strings. So I have some questions please. 1- for the balance is it ok to take 4 violins and 1 cello? 2- I have my cad8000 mike, is it ok to take all this, or I must take violins only then the cello? 3- If taking strings, where I must put the mike? 4- I have also flute and oboa, how can I put mike for flute and oboa as will? I will take one by one but need to know where can I put mike for flute and oboa. Last question is that, must I use pencil mikes, or my cad 8000 is ok? Any help will be highly abbreciated.
