Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just got a call from a symphony out of Nevada who want to do a performance of this great number for next years July 4th celebration. Waiting to hear back if they are using a real or recorded cannon. Glad I have plenty of subs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pro Sound Guy Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 I have a Telarc CD of the 1812 Overture and it has a warning label on it that you can damageyour loudspeakers from the cannon recording part of the CD if your not careful.Dynamic range.

Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just found out they will have a number of real cannons from a civil war re-enactment group. This should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Axisplayer Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 That should now start the debate over the best cannon microphone. Surely, everything needs to be mice'ed... ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 That would of course be a shotgun mic since they're in the same family !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Axisplayer Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 OK, you win. That was truly funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just because you will not be micing the cannon doesn't mean you don't have to worry. The bleed through the orchestra mics will be huge!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yep they have not made the noise gate that can keep a cannon out. HPF all around for what little might be gained. Show the metalheads a thing or two about "stage volume" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Koopdaddy Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 Tommy, I believe there was a thread over on PSW or SF about miking canons. If you havent already you should check it out, might have some good advice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'll check it out but can't believe I'll have any need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tomm Williams Posted November 8, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 I can only imagine all the riderless horses running around in the middle of Gettysburg . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoadRanger Posted November 8, 2013 Members Share Posted November 8, 2013 I suspect the only folks shooting from horseback were in the movies or an occasional pistol shot close up in desperation. And I hope they have something figured out as to how to syncronize the cannon with the music . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tomm Williams Posted November 9, 2013 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2013 Looked up a few sites concerning the plural usage of Cannon. Not much agreement, some say no "s", others say to use it, one site said it didn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
