Is a deck with Oade SUPER MOD ok for use recording shows? My understanding it's more aimed at ambient nature recordings or video type application.
Thanks.
That is what it is primarily designed for, but people have posted here in the past that Doug has said it won't distort during
most live recordings when the attenuation is set to -18. However to be safe or for recording very loud concerts you could use -10 or -12 dB attenuators between the mics and the recorder. I believe a number of people who primarily record ambiant/acoustic but who sometimes want to record amplified shows have successfully used their Oade Super Mod recorder this way.
