Thanks for posting that, Dave. Very useful and informative info on your recordings. Now my dumb question. Is someone manning your camera when you have videos that show you and Sara, then it will fade into just Sara or just you? Are you able to set your camera up to do that on "cue" or does someone have to do that?

Duh, boy do I feel stupid! But of course that is how you do it. I should have put on my thinking cap before asking. But, you do it so nicely that I suppose you had me fooled!

Just curious, what is your opinion on clip-on mics? I know for solo/piano work it's more hassle to mic both players, but would it give your more control over balance and clarity? Or do you not have these issues with these setups?
More control, yes. But I don't like them for euphonium. I like(d) Steve Mead's recorded sound less after he started using the clip-on. Euphoniums need some "room sound" to be in their element, and adding it artificially is not as good.
Sam Pilafian and I had a nice talk about this many years ago, while I was doing freelance recordings and also managing the band's recording studio. The Empire Brass liked to record in large rooms / cathedrals. They would control the amount of reverb (room sound) by how close the mics are to the players.
