Hi all-
I am new to the forums, but not new to taping. I've maybe taped a handful of shows in my "career" - started in the late 90s with an old handheld cassette recorder (hard to believe you could once walk into a venue with that!) and graduated to an iriver (I know, it's old by today's standards) My gear is an iriver h140, SP-SPSB-10 battery box and SP-BMC-2s. I know not the very best equipment but it does an alright job IMO. I have no experience slipping passed a metal detector, as I've always chickened out if I knew a venue was going to have tight security.
I wanted to ask about metal detectors at MSG NY. I am going there this week and would love to tape a show - I'm a chick so I know we have a few more options to hide gear etc.. but I just wanted to know how hard they search purses etc?? If there was any advice you could give pls PM me? I was also planning to tape at PNC Bank Arts Center, I was there last week, metal detectors you walk through, I saw wands -- but they didn't wand me (maybe just the guys?) and did a really soft check of my purse. I am pretty sure I'd have an easier time getting gear in there than MSG --plus I wouldn't have to take a train back to my car if I get caught! :bigsmile: Does anyone know if my equipment would even set off a metal detector?
Second question -
Are there any options available for stereo recording through a samsung s7/android device? I've seen some options for iphones - I do own an ipod touch (I think it might be 4th or 5th gen..) but I don't think it's actually possible to record true stereo via a samsung just yet. It would be so much easier to be able to use the phone instead of having to worry about getting gear in!!
Thanks!!

MSG easy if you know how. Your rig is small and you are (as you said it) a chick. PM me if you need advice.
