Need Advice On Children's Choir Recording Options

[kwilinski]

I am making a CD for my son's choir to use as a fundraiser. We have received the mechanical rights for a dozen songs and I have recorded them live in a church. Now I am mixing and mastering.

I recorded using 4 large diaphram condenser mics through MOTU 896HD at 24 bit/96K. The mics were placed to have somewhat "separate" control over the different sections.

Since I am a newbie, I am interested in advice on various EQ, Compressor, Limiter, Reverb, etc... settings I might want to apply. I am using a G4 Dual 1.25 Power Mac with DP 5 and the stock plugins.

Any comments, ideas, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. A stereo mixdown of the four tracks (each at equal volume) for one of the songs is at the following link:

I have not changed the raw recording tracks other than to convert to an MP3 file at 160 kpbs using LAME encoder.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I cut down to two mics, added EQ, and a little compression to piano. Attempted to pan the sound out to make wider. The following link has the orginal tracks file and my current mix. If you have time, please listen and comment. I plan to use my final recipe for the other seven songs we recorded.

Thanks again for the input.
