Thanks Myco & China.
Chuck, that's correct. Only song title announcements, background stories, banter, communication between musicians, etc. directly from stage without a PA. Occasionally there is a single announce mic to the overhead PA for that, but its far clearer both on the recordings and out in the room when that is not used. There was an unexpected guest sax player at one gig who stood almost directly above the mics similarly arranged like this down low on the stage surface, which concerned me at the time, but the sax recorded nicely.
JimmyC, I’m relatively strong on the recording end and woefully weak on post and distribution work, but that’ll shift eventually. This series has been a fantastic recording setup laboratory for me and I have loads of material comparing various setups which I’ve planned all along to eventually get into a form that I can make available to you all. Syder9 on the other hand is super efficient at getting his recordings posted pretty quickly, so that takes some pressure off me for those who want to hear the music, if not my oddball setups. Thanks for that Spydee.
Hard for me to pass that up Scoob, especially featuring bass clarinet- one of my favorite non-mainstream instruments. Wish I was going to be around tonight for your stream.
