Everybody talks. I disagree with the tapers that say people shouldn't talk at a show because every taper I know talks, so to me saying that is hypocritical. I can see stealthers being quiet, but if you're a stealther standing DFC in the middle of the crowd and you get pissed about people talking around you, well you're stealthing so I really can't see that argument either. Maybe you want people around you to be quiet because you're stealthing, but it's just not gonna happen.
Yeah, there are lots of people that go overboard and if they are loud and obnoxious and never shut up during the show, that's a different situation because it's rude. But I don't think it's rude to talk to your friends a little bit at a show and I don't have a problem, as a paying customer, if people talk around me. I'm focused on the music anyway so I just don't let it bother me.
The best solution to reconciling the talking to your tapes is to target bands that allow taping and start recording open with a mic stand. If you put your mics above peoples heads, it will minimize the background from the audience. With your mics up in the air you can enjoy the show so much more. You can have your jack and cokes, take a pee, talk to your wife and dance your ass off and you'll still have a great recording!
100% agreed. Im FOB/DFC 99% of ther time, and people talk there AT EVERY SHOW. So I run hypers and run my stand at about 10'-12' high
PERIOD!
