Further Thought on initial idea

I carried out a mind map of various areas which tied into my initial idea, which I am currently unable to get a high quality image of to post onto this blog. I therefore broke the mind map down into areas i wished to research and limitations within my project, at present these are as follows.

Areas of Research

• Live microphone techniques/mic types
• Studio microphone techniques/mic types
• Acoustic treatment within different environments
• Spaces available (advantages/disadvantages)
• Previous, similar work 
• Limiting Sound Spillage within the space (as preventing it will be impossible)

Limitations to Project Idea

• Funds 
• Time constraints
• Available spaces (which ties back to funds as well as areas of research).
• Equipment available (once again relating back to funds)
• Health and safety regulations within the industry (i.e. dB levels, ear protection etc.)

Further to this, after a conversation with a pier (Daryl Robertson) doing a project within the area of live sound, who had decided to expand his project to encompass an additional medium, it occurred to me than it may be beneficial to my project to include a different genre of music.

Specifically, I am considering also carrying out the same procedure with and acoustic singer/songwriter, where the artist is recorded as would be done under real studio conditions, and then the procedure is repeated as if the artist is performing live and both are mixed using conventional industry practices.
