Newbie question about mic location
« on: December 10, 2010, 12:06:20 PM »
I notice in  your posts for recordings that you all list abbreviations in regards to mic locations.  I am not sure I understand all of these. Can someone break it down for me:

FOB,DFC,HFC,ZFC..etc..etc. I dont want to look like a fool when I post.
Thanks.

Don't put too much stock in these acronyms.  Many people are extremely liberal in their usage of these terms and in some instances they're meaningless (e.g. in most small clubs I frequent, the entire venue is FOB.

I like AARP. The OP looks like the notes from a Z-Man show.
