There is a band that plays near me fairly regularly that I am thinking of asking to record. Really good singer, would love to capture some of the performances.
Sometimes she really belts it out, sometimes a little more restrained, like last night
2 acoustic guitarists\vocalists and a percussionist.
Looking for some advise on the best way to record them if I am given permission.
Here are some variables to consider.
Big open area, even with only a few people, it is fairly loud chatter-wise.
Bands usually sound like shite there unless they have a dedicated soundguy.
( I've seen a national act there and the sound was really great, but that's the only time).
Stage is kind of kitty-cornered in the room.
I was thinking lip of stage but have no real experience with that.
Can run cardioids or omnis.
Thanks in advance
