I'm new to this board so I say 'hi to all the good people here
I've been recording shows since 1997 with Sony ECM-717 and thought it was about time for an upgrade. I'm looking to get Soundman OKM-II R model and after browsing various topics I still have a few questions.
Is it crucial to stay as close to the stage / PA as possible? What if I record at a 6,000-people arena placing myself near the soundboard? How will such a recording most likely turn out?
I'm using new Sony Hi-MD recorder (MZ-NH900). Is it better to use the mic-in or the line-in jack?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Jacob.
