[QUOTE="Max Warasila, post: 6798, member: 3845"] Hi! I'm new. There, that is all. Not going to patronize you with an actual introduction. In terms of the question, I'd like to ask for some opinions for a production I am working on at a local school. The show we are doing is Willy Wonka... Junior. Don't judge. It's not all that bad. But because it's a musical, naturally the director wants to mic people. Only problem is that I have been given (naturally) a budget of near zero and a single wireless lavaliere to mic them with, as well as a sound system with the mixer placed in a portable box designed to be used backstage. Not really optimal for mixing. Finally, there are 16 different parts with solos, in the numbers. I don't have anywhere near enough mics for that, even when I start calling in favors from the other county techs and schools, as well as not enough channels to support them even if I could. The question here, or at least the one I do want to ask, is where I should draw the line for who gets miked and who doesn't, as well as suggestions and personal preferences for the stage mics if I need them. At the moment I am thinking of running 8 headests for Wonka, Grandpa Joe, the kids and someone else (probably someone who can't project), and then filling in the rest with stage mics. Thanks! (If you are interested, I have a budget of 400 dollars maximum, and that's for both sound and lights. I was thrust into charge of both, and lighting at this school is like... using several iPhones as your lighting... oh this is going to be a fun tech week.) [/QUOTE]
