I'm curious if anyone had a chance to listened to the DSO recording using an array of mic stands (left, center, and right), and what y'all thought?
For me, I kind of like the array recording because the crowd noise is not so distracting. There were people all around the 3 stands that were excited (which I kind of like), overly excited, obnoxious, talking, etc., and it appears to not be as noticeable when mixed (summed / stacked) together. Perhaps, the distractions are not as noticeable because it is in only 1-2 channels and not amplified when mixed with the other sources (may be improved signal to noise ratio).
Next time, I think we need to work on getting our real-time recoding levels matching better. I had the right stand too hot compared to the center and left stands.
