"You have not stated what Firewire interface or mics you are using.  
Are they the ones suggested by David Tayler, including the Saffire  
Firewire interface.
I have noticed that Firewire is definitely superior for photographic  
attachments than the equivalent USB, I imagine the same would be true  
of sound recordings."

Dear Anthony,

Thanks for your comments...

The Microphones are a pair of DPA 4090 High sens.
The microphones are mine, but the interface is owned by our recorder player,
and I have forgotten the exact model. It has I think 10 channels, 4 of which
have microphone preamps. We did try a cheaper model, but there was a problem
with noise, so we upgraded it to another companies somewhat more expensive
model and now the problems have disappeared. It is worth investing in
something good. 

"the less the recording is manipulated, the better."

I agree totally, for us personally the ONLY way is to use a pair of omni's
without any other support microphones. Also added reverb is for us the wrong
way to go, the lute loses so much of its percussiveness and attack. We are
anyway going for a more up-front sound with attitude than a new age vibe. 

All the best
Mark
